Pierre Brice (1929 to 2015) and his biggest role
What a real movie star of an ordinary actor differs that, at least that is the official definition, is the fact that no one in the audience can distinguish more between the roller and the person who plays this role, and in this respect Pierre Brice was perhaps the biggest movie star, the German cinema has ever produced, by and through the Mescalero Winnetou, the indigenous Americans, as we would say today. And that he was also a Frenchman, what you, whatsoever heard because of the charming accent, was so far not a contradiction, as the big time Winnetou yes at the same time was that post-war period, in which the Germans wanted to be reconciled with both, with the French and the Americans .

The films about Winnetou is yes, if you now, as an adult, again sees almost incomprehensible, because they have neither an act nor what we otherwise “Action” call, nothing , which could compete with the Western, as it invented the Americans. And that they still like to see that they owe especially Pierre Brice, his magic, his presence, at the same time exactly did the detachment which Karl May had once devised for the figure. An immortal being, since his death in “Winnetou III”.

Pierre Brice is dead. The French actor and "Winnetou" actor is on Saturday in a French hospital died. Pierre Brice was 86 years old.
Famous Brice was in Germany, especially as "Winnetou". In the sixties he played him a total of eleven times. His first appearance was born in Brest actor 1962 "Treasure of Silver Lake". Ten million people saw the film in Germany alone. His Filmtod sparked a wave of protests from 1965, then the Indians could rise again for a short time. The film series ended in 1968. In his native France Brice was hardly known. The connection to Germany was tight, not only because of its many fans, his wife Hella comes from Bavaria.
He had really had no desire to play an Indian, Brice once told that figure but then equipped with their own ideas as to look into the distance, or sweeping arm motion welcome.
After the "Winnetou" series took Brice larger roles in Italian and French cinema and TV films. With the end of his film career Brice returned mid-seventies back to Winnetou role, both on television and on stage. The WDR 1980, sent 14-part series "Mein Freund Winnetou", in which the Indians and their living conditions should be placed at the center. From 1996, the ZDF turned in Spain two new Winnetou films titled "Winnetou's return". Brice wrote parts of the script.
As Winnetou actor Brice worked many years at the Karl May Festival in Elspe / Sauerland and Bad Segeberg with.
Pierre Brice, who actually Pierre Louis Baron de Bris said, felt privately values his character committed. That was the reason that he had almost forty years played the famous Indian figure, he once said. After a losing bet in the ZDF show "Wetten dass ...?" Brice organized in 1995 around a fundraiser for the people devastated by the civil war Bosnia and Herzegovina.
A "bit naive," were the "Winnetou" films indeed been already, Brice said once elsewhere. But the Germans had longed for the war to values such as peace, freedom and human dignity.
In the parody "Manitou's Shoe" by Michael "Bully" Herbig understood Brice no fun: This is "nonsense", he summoned scarce. (FAZ.NET)
