Philipp Hochmair (German: [ˈfɪǀɪp ˈhoːxmɑɪɐ]); born 16 October 1973) is an Austrian theater, film and television actor.
Early life
Hochmair grew up in Vienna (Austria) where he discovered his passion for literature, film and theater. He studied acting at the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna in the master class of Klaus Maria Brandauer and at the Conservatoire National Supérieur d'Art Dramatique in Paris.[1][2]
Career
Theater
From 2003 to 2009 Hochmair was engaged at the Viennese Burgtheater (admitted in the gallery of honor).[3] When he left the Burgtheater in 2009, he worked at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg until 2016.[4] Apart from this, he had engagements at the Schauspielhaus Hamburg, Staatstheater Hannover, Volksbühne Berlin and at the Zürich Schauspielhaus.[5]
In November 2023, it was announced that Hochmair would take on the role of Jedermann (Hugo von Hofmannsthal: Jedermann) at the 2024 Salzburg Festival.[6][7][8]
Movies and TV
He has played in Austrian and German movies, TV-films and television series, including Die Manns – ein Jahrhundertroman (directed by Heinrich Breloer: 30th International Emmy Awards), The Shine of the Day (by Tizza Covi and Rainer Frimmel),[9] Die Auslöschung (director: Nicholas Leytner),[10] Tomcat (by Händl Klaus)[11] and Animals (directed by Greg Zglinksi).[12]
Candelaria - Ein kubanischer Sommer (2017) is one of his first international productions, directed by Jhonny Hendrix Hinestroza. Shot in Cuba in 2016.[13]
In the series Vorstadtweiber (2015-2022), he embodies a corrupt and cynical homosexual politician, who loses his mind and becomes a murderer.[14]
In the third season of Charité (German-Netflix-Production, 2020), Hochmair stars as Professor Otto Prokop, an Austrian forensic pathologist who was internationally recognized for his influence on forensic medicine and research policy during German Democratic Republic.[15]
Blind ermittelt (since 2018) centers around Hochmair's character Alexander Haller, a blind ex-commissioner.[16][17][18]
In the Netflix-Series Freud (2019), he plays an evil count, obsessed by dark powers.[19]
Die Wannseekonferenz (2022, directed by Matti Geschonneck) is a multi-award winning[20] German TV docudrama:[21][22] On January 20, 1942, leading representatives of the Nazi Regime meet at Wannsee in Berlin at the invitation of Reinhard Heydrich (Philipp Hochmair). The meeting will go down in history as the Wannsee Conference. The sole topic of discussion is the so-called "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" by the National Socialists: the organization of the systematic mass murder of the Jews of Europe by the millions.

Projects
Hochmair performs his solo projects Werther! (by Goethe),[23] The Trial[24] and America (both by Franz Kafka).[25]
Jedermann Reloaded[26][27] is Hochmair's rock-interpretation of Hugo von Hofmannsthal's original play Jedermann, which he performs together with his band Die Elektrohand Gottes on stage. With his band, he has also set ballads by Friedrich Schiller to music in a rock style (Schiller Balladen Rave)[28] and the Hagestolz by Adalbert Stifter.[29][30][31]
In November 2018, Hochmair and his band performed Jedermann Reloaded at the Viennese St. Stephens Cathedral. All proceeds of this sold out charity went to a South African aids hospice.[32]
