Matthias Schweighöfer Biography

Matthias Schweighöfer, a versatile German actor and filmmaker, has established an extensive career in both German and American film productions. Schweighöfer's notable roles include Lieutenant Franz Herber in "Valkyrie," Ludwig Dieter in Netflix's "Army of the Dead," and Werner Heisenberg in Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer."

Off-screen, Schweighöfer has also demonstrated his ability to direct and produce engaging content. His directorial debut came with the romantic comedy "What a Man" in 2011, and he has since directed several films, including "Break Up Man," "Joy of Fatherhood," "The Manny," and "You Are Wanted." "You Are Wanted", in which Schweighöfer also starred, holds the distinction of being Amazon Studios' first non-English-language TV series.

In addition to his onscreen and directorial pursuits, Schweighöfer has ventured into other creative avenues. He co-founded the fashion label German Garment with TV presenter Joko Winterscheidt in 2009. He has also lent his voice to the German versions of "The Little Prince" and "Playmobil: The Movie" and narrated audiobooks such as "Slam" by Nick Hornby and "Die Traumnovelle" by Arthur Schnitzler. In 2025, he voiced Tegmen in Pixar's "Elio." His work in theatre, including performances in "One, Two, Three" at Hebbel Theatre, Berlin, and "North" at Volksbühne, Berlin, underscores his broad-ranging artistic ability and versatility.
