Doris Buchrucker

Doris Buchrucker was born in Munich and got her education at the Otto Falckenberg Drama School. Her very first role at the municipal theater of Ingolstadt was that of Recha in Lessing’s NATHAN DER WEISE (directed by Ernst Seitgen). She continued working on stage at the Deutsche Theater in Göttingen for three years, followed by two years in Heidelberg where she acted in plays directed by Fritz Zecha and David Mouchtar-Samorai among others. During the 1980s she was working at the Thalia Theater, also in Wuppertal and at Tübingen’s Zimmertheater until finally in 1989 she made her debut at the renowned Bayerisches Staatsschauspiel as Sophie in Goethe’s CLAVIGO (dir.: H.D. Jendreyko). Numerous roles at the Staatstheater Hannover, Bayerisches Staatsschauspiel, in theaters in Bonn, Hamburg, Konstanz, Münster, and Ingolstadt followed. Aside from her extensive stage work, Doris Buchrucker has also been able to build a career in front of the camera where she actually resembles MOTHER COURAGE given her dramatic intensity. She has been an emotional enrichment for any film production that she was a part of. From the very beginning, she worked with famous directors like Klaus Emmerich, Axel Corti, and Jo Baier and was cast opposite fellow actors Monika Bleibtreu and Jan Biczycki. Recently she has teamed up with Max Färberböck, Hans Steinbichler, and Konstantin Ferstl and all of those collaborations just felt like a natural fit. The up-and-coming director Boris Kunz had started working with Doris Buchrucker before and during his education at the prestigious Munich HFF Film School and they have continued working together up to this day. In the summer of 2013 audiences loved Doris Buchrucker when she appeared in one of the lead roles in Boris Kunz’ romantic comedy DREI STUNDEN.
