He has been a successful actor in many movies such as ''[[Run Lola Run]], [[Das Experiment]], [[The Baader Meinhof Complex]]'', and [[Atomised (film)|''Elementary Particles'']]. His role in [[Knockin' on Heaven's Door (1997 film)|''Knockin' on Heaven's Door'']] was the one that set off his career in 1997.

==Life==
Moritz Bleibtreu was born in 1971 and was raised in the St. Georg district of [[Hamburg]]. Moritz Bleibtreu's parents, [[Monica Bleibtreu]], (1944–2009) and, [[Hans Brenner (actor)|Hans Brenner]], (1938–1998) were both actors. Renato Attilio Bleibtreu is Moritz's grandfather and is a well-known writer. Many of his ancestors were actors also, such as his great-grandmother [[Maximiliane Bleibtreu]], her sister [[Hedwig Bleibtreu]] and their parents [[Amalie Bleibtreu|Amalie]] and Sigmund Bleibtreu. Actress Cilli Drexel is the half-sister of Moritz Bleibtreu. The [[Bleibtreustraße|Bleibtreustrasse]], a street in [[Berlin]], was originally named after [[Georg Bleibtreu]] who was a battle painter and a distant ancestor of Moritz. Moritz as a child was already in the spotlight when he starred in ''[[Neues aus Uhlenbusch]]'' (''News From Uhlenbusch).'' The children series was written by Rainer Boldt, [[Monica Bleibtreu]], and [[Hans Peter Korff]]. Monica and Hans were married at the time this series was produced. Bleibtreu's career continued to grow as he got a role in Boldt's, ''I Had a Dream'', and then in 1986 in, ''With My Hot Tears'', a television series that he acted in with his mother. 

Moritz Bleibtreu grew up attending the Jahnschule, which is now known as the Ida-Ehre-School in Hamburg-Harvestehude. He obtained his secondary school certificate in the eleventh grade while attending the school. He then began to not attend the school anymore after obtaining his certificate. Bleibtreu then moved to [[Paris]] to work as an Au-Pair for almost two years.  While working this job, he was also able to learn French. He then moved to [[Italy]] afterwards for a year and then on to [[New York City|New York]]. In New York, he attended acting school. He was not offered a job in his audition at the Actors Studio, but he was able to get on as a factotum, which let him observe the actors' rehearsals.

Moritz Bleibtreu had a son in November 2008 with his now ex-wife Annika in [[Reinbek|Reinbek, Germany]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2009-05-31 |title=Moritz Bleibtreu: Ist Vater geworden |url=https://www.bild.de/unterhaltung/leute/ist-vater-geworden-6715346.bild.html |access-date=2022-11-28 |website=bild.de |language=de}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Promis in Hamburg: 10 Stars, die hier wohnen |url=https://kiekmo.hamburg/artikel/stadt-verkehr/promi-alarm-in-diesen-hamburger-stadtteilen-wohnen-hamburgs-beruehmtheiten |access-date=2022-11-28 |website=kiekmo |language=de-DE}}</ref>

== Career ==
At the age of 21 and after 4 years of studying abroad, Bleibtreu continued his career by working at the [[Thalia Theater (Hamburg)|Thalia Theater]] and the [[Deutsches Schauspielhaus|Schauspielhaus]] in [[Hamburg|Hamburg, Germany.]] After this, he began getting smaller roles in television series. Moritz Bleibtreu began his television acting career in 1993 with a role in the series ''[[Schulz & Schulz]].'' Bleibtreu took a role in ''{{ill|The Little Innocent|de|Unschuldsengel (1994)}}'' (1994) as a gay bartender named Thorsten who lives in the Hamburg prostitute scene.

Bleibtreu also starred in a romantic comedy called ''[[Talk of the Town (1995 film)|Talk of the Town]]'' (1995). He played the role of Karl, a homosexual naive carpenter.

In 1998, Moritz began to step away from acting in T.V. series and began to work on more movies. He said, "cinema is an active form of watching, while television is a passive one".<ref>{{Cite web |last=NACHRICHTEN |first=n-tv |title=Warum Bleibtreu nur Kino macht |url=https://www.n-tv.de/archiv/Warum-Bleibtreu-nur-Kino-macht-article241412.html |access-date=2022-11-20 |website=n-tv.de |language=de}}</ref> Bleibtreu has worked in many well-known films such as ''[[Run Lola Run]]'', ''[[Knockin' on Heaven's Door (1997 film)|Knockin' on Heaven's Door]]'', ''[[The Baader Meinhof Complex]]'', and ''[[Das Experiment|The Experiment]]''.

He also enjoys taking smaller supporting roles in international co-productions. One movie that he worked in was [[Sam Garbarski|Sam Barbarski's]] ''[[Vijay and I]]''. Bleibtreu, back in 2004, played a role in the Danish film ''Der Fakir'' and then in 2016 in Johannes Naber's film adaptation of [[Wilhelm Hauff]]'s ''[[Heart of Stone (German fairy tale)|Heart of Stone]]''.

Filming began in summer 2016<ref>{{cite web |date=19 November 2015 |title="Lommbock": Kult-Kiffer-Komödie "Lammbock" mit Moritz Bleitbreu bekommt Fortsetzung |url=http://www.filmstarts.de/nachrichten/18499417.html |access-date=26 January 2016 |publisher=filmstarts.de |language=de}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=30 December 2015 |title=Hätten Sie den bartlosen Mann links erkannt? |url=http://www.bz-berlin.de/kultur/film/haetten-sie-den-bartlosen-mann-links-erkannt |access-date=26 January 2016 |publisher=bz-berlin.de |language=de}}</ref> and the film premiered in 2017.

== Directing career ==
Moritz Bleibtreu began his career in directing in 2019 with his film [[Cortex Moritz Bleibtreu|Cortex]] which released in theaters on 22 October 2020. He said, in an interview with the [[German Films Quarterly]], that the film was "very personal to him" as he directed the psychological thriller.<ref>{{Cite web |title=German Films Quarterly A PORTRAIT OF DIRECTOR FRANKA POTENTE |url=https://germanfilmsquarterly.de/portrait_moritz_bleibtreu_gfq.html |access-date=2022-11-15 |website=germanfilmsquarterly.de}}</ref> Bleibtreu exclaimed that the motivation behind him directing his film was that "... he believed he wanted to watch a film like this himself".<ref>{{Cite web |title=German Films Quarterly A PORTRAIT OF DIRECTOR FRANKA POTENTE |url=https://germanfilmsquarterly.de/portrait_moritz_bleibtreu_gfq.html |access-date=2022-11-15 |website=germanfilmsquarterly.de}}</ref> He also said that "directing was not an escape from acting, but rather just another challenge for his journey".<ref>{{Cite web |title=German Films Quarterly A PORTRAIT OF DIRECTOR FRANKA POTENTE |url=https://germanfilmsquarterly.de/portrait_moritz_bleibtreu_gfq.html |access-date=2022-11-15 |website=germanfilmsquarterly.de}}</ref> Not only did Bleibtreu direct the film, but he also played the lead role of a security officer named Hagen. According to [[IMDb]] with 540 viewer ratings, Cortex received a 5.3 out of 10 stars. <ref>{{Citation |last=Bleibtreu |first=Moritz |title=Cortex |date=2020-10-22 |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10056224/ |type=Crime, Drama, Thriller |publisher=Paloma Entertainment, Port au Prince Film & Kultur Produktion, Warner Bros.

== Controversy ==
Bleibtreu decided in April 2021 to join the #allesdichtmachen campaign.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Redaktion |first=MOPO |date=2021-05-04 |title=#allesdichtmachen: Die dubiose Rolle von Schauspiel-Star Moritz Bleibtreu |url=https://www.mopo.de/hamburg/allesdichtmachen-die-dubiose-rolle-von-schauspiel-star-moritz-bleibtreu-38354616/ |access-date=2022-11-28 |website=MOPO |language=de-DE}}</ref> This campaign was meant for people to give advice or measures that they would take to stop COVID-19 from spreading. There were about 50 other actors along with Bleibtreu that joined in on this movement. When an advertising partner decided to step in and talk to him about how this could affect his career and future, he decided it was best to not send out the video that he made for the campaign.
