Axel Prahl, 64, looks forward to working with Jan Josef Liefers every year when they appear in front of the camera as Chief Inspector Frank Thiel and Professor Karl-Friedrich Boerne for 'Tatort'. This partnership, which has existed for 22 years, has earned them a loyal fan base.
"The rest of the team needs good nerves"
The two actors are known for their easy-going and sometimes childish manner on set, which often puts the rest of the team to the test. But this silliness often leads to entertaining moments, as Prahl revealed in an interview with "t-online". In the latest case, 'Man stirbt nur zweimal', the two are trapped in a cellar while investigating an insurance fraud. Although this case is less humorous than other Münster "Tatort" episodes, Prahl finds this fitting: "Life isn't always funny either, and this story is really rather heartfelt, isn't it?" he told "Bild".
Life in Brandenburg
Away from filming, Axel Prahl lives in Brandenburg, where he appreciates the peace and quiet and the people. Born in Eutin, he sees parallels between the people of Brandenburg and Schleswig-Holstein: "You greet each other there and go your own way, you see each other, but you also leave each other alone." In his new home, he can devote himself undisturbed to his hobbies, such as music. "It's always very relaxing for me to dedicate myself to an instrument, my guitar, my piano or keyboard." Painting with acrylic paints also has its appeal for him. Axel Prahl knows how to spend his free time in a meaningful way.
