Gedeon Burkhard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gedeon Burkhard, born in July 3, 1969 in Munich, Germany is a German film and television actor. Though having appeared in numerous films and tv-series in both Europe and the US, he is probably best recognised for his role as Alexander Brandtner in the Austrian/German Tv-series Kommissar Rex (1998-2001), which has been aired on television in numerous countries around the world. He was considered as the most handsome man in Germany in 1998.

Gedeon is the son of the famous German actress Elisabeth von Molo and was educated at a boarding school in England. He began his acting career in 1979 in the German tv-film Blut und Ehre. His father, Wolfgang Burkhard,is his manager.

During the 90's, he lived in the USA, working in several productions but without recognition. In this period, Gedeon got married in Las Vegas only to divorce 4 months later. After that, he lived in Vienna for Kommisar Rex for more than 5 years, before moving to Berlin for work reasons.

Gedeon is currently single and has a daughter Gioia. As at 2006, he is working in Cologne in the TV series Alarm für Cobra 11 as the detective Chris Ritter.
