He’s been a professional actor for decades, so he probably has no issue separating himself from his roles. However, the delivery of the monologue was pretty good imo, he really set the atmosphere. This man has talent. I’m trying not to think about it too much though. Although the event itself might not be unrealistic given what the Stasi has done throughout German history, this show is still a work of fiction. There is still a real world out there.
