Christian Tramitz

Munich native Christian Tramitz (born in 1955) took acting lessons while still pursuing his university studies in art history, philosophy, and theater studies. His father is a film producer, and on his mother's side, Tramitz hails from the acting Hörbiger family. He gained his first media experience alongside Michael Herbig on the radio show Die Bayern Cops, which subsequently gave rise to the television series Isar 3. His major TV breakthrough came in 1997 with the launch of the Bullyparade: for five years, working as both an actor and a writer alongside his friends Michael "Bully" Herbig and Rick Kavanian, Tramitz entertained millions of viewers with sketches such as Traumschiff, Sissi und Franzl, and various Western parodies.
