Simon Licht

Across changing tastes and formats, Simon Licht has stayed a German actor whose work covers more eras of the industry than most. '13 Minutes' rounds out the better-known part of the filmography. Very few actors keep finding work for 34 years. In cinemas, 'The Baader Meinhof Complex' is the work that stuck — Horst Mahler, specifically.
