Oliver Masucci

Oliver Masucci was born in Stuttgart in 1968 and grew up in Bonn. He began his career as a stage actor and worked on major German-language stages. He became widely known for playing Adolf Hitler in the film adaptation of Timur Vermes’s novel “Look Who’s Back,” which became a major box-office success. Masucci describes himself as the child of a migrant-worker family; cooking and food, particularly Italian and German cuisine, play an important role in his autobiographical writing.
