Suddenly everything is different

Host and presenter Koch has experienced for himself how life can change from one second to the next. In 2010, as a 23-year-old, he had an accident on the TV show "Wetten, dass...?" and has been paraplegic ever since. "For years I had to answer questions, now I'm looking forward to asking questions," said Koch according to the press release. Koch, who is in a wheelchair, is a film and theater actor, author and speaker. He is moving from the Nationaltheater Mannheim to the Münchner Kammerspiele for the new season.
