It was also the latter where he majored in film studies and acquired his fluency in English. He started his career playing the lead in an Italian film for the big screen, Ernesto, which was whelmed by Salvatore Samperi. The German audience came to experience him playing the lead of a 19 year old opposite Heinz Bennent in the suspenseful TV mini-series called Der Fall Mauritius which aired on ZDF network.
