Biography

Möhring was born in Augustdorf near Detmold and grew up in Herne. His father was an army officer and his mother worked as a teacher. He has a sister and two brothers. One of them, Sönke Möhring, is also an actor.

After receiving a Waldorf education in Herne and finishing high school with the Abitur diploma, Möhring took vocational training to become an electrician, but then worked as a club owner, doorman, and model. He studied communication at the Berlin University of the Arts, joined actors workshops in Cologne and Los Angeles, and lived for two years in New York City. He was also an army officer for two years.

Together with Gabi Delgado-López, Möhring founded the band DAF/DOS. Furthermore, he has produced soundtracks.

Möhring had his first screen appearance in the 1998 television film The Bubi Scholz Story [de], a bio-pic about a German boxer, which also featured Benno Fürmann and Götz George. Since then he has played in over 90 German film and television productions^[1] and has received numerous prizes, including the German Television Prize as Best Actor in 2012.^[2] He starred in the German film The Last Fine Day [de] which was awarded a Grimme Prize in 2013. He played the lead role in a short film directed by Max Zähle, which won a Student Academy Award in 2011^[3] and was nominated for an Oscar in 2012. He had a small role in the international film production of 2008 titled Valkyrie about the plot to assassinate Hitler on 20 July 1944.

Since 2013, Möhring has played the detective Thorsten Falke in seventeen episodes as of June 2022^[4]^{[circular reference]}^[5]^[6] of the long-running crime television series Tatort, after previously playing guest roles four times in the series.

In 2016, he played the part of Old Shatterhand, the blood brother of Winnetou, in the German film production Winnetou based on three novels by Karl May.
