After decades in the business, Martin Hofmann is the kind of actor recognizable to viewers well beyond any single title. Neither the cinema nor the television half of the career can be called the side project. Ask a viewer to place Martin Hofmann and the answer usually comes back 'The Brothers Grimm'. 'The Zookeeper's Wife' counts among the more visible credits. Viewing habits have changed more than once since the first credit. He has worked in thriller more often than in any other register.
