He is not only likeable and very authentic as an anti-hero or marginal figure. He fills these roles completely.

Jörg Schüttauf was born in Chemnitz in 1961. In 1986 he went to Leipzig to study at the "Hans Otto" theater college, which he graduated as an actor. The name Hans Otto brought him luck, because the theater of the same name in Potsdam engaged him for five years, important apprenticeship years.
