Joachim Fuchsberger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joachim Fuchsberger (born March 11, 1927 in Zuffenhausen, today a district of Stuttgart) is a German actor and television host best known to a wide German-speaking audience as one of the recurring actors in various Edgar Wallace movies (always playing one of the good guys, often a Detective Inspector with Scotland Yard).
Fuchsberger was a parachutist during World War II. His nickname Blacky, which has been incessantly used by the media, hails from that time. In the English-speaking world, he is sometimes credited as Akim Berg or Berger.
He withdrew from film and television work in the 1970s and concentrated on his stage career. Only in the late 1990s did he start reappearing in some television movies.
Fuchsberger was also the stadium announcer at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.
He has been married to actress Gundula Korte since 1954. Their son, Thomas (born 1957), is a composer. Fuchsberger lives in Munich and near Hobart, Tasmania.
