German actor Günther Kaufmann died yesterday aged only 64. Internationally, Kaufmann is best known for his parts in several of Rainer Werner Fassbinder films, but he was also a familiar face in German television and on the stage. Günther Kaufmann was probably the only person who appeared both in a Fassbinder film and I’m a celebrity, get me out of here! His last film was the comedy Türkisch für Anfänger (Turkish for Beginners). Günther Kaufmann lived in Bremen for a while, played at the local theatre and was involved in a bonafide stage scandal, when he appeared nude in Johann Kresnik’s play Die zehn Gebote (The Ten Commandments) and had simulated sex on stage – all in a church.
