Michael Fassbender Career
Michael Fassbender was born in Heidelberg as the son of a German and an Irish. When he was two, the family moved to Killarney in Ireland, where they opened a restaurant. Fassbender, who still speaks fluent German, learned the drama primarily at the renowned Drama Center London.However, he first attracted attention as a performer in the US when he took over in 2001 a supporting role in the co-produced by Steven Spielberg World War II miniseries "Band of Brothers". After further appearances in series and in the music video "Blind Pilots" of the British band The Cooper Temple Clause Fassbender worked in 2003 on a ten-part radio drama version of "Dracula". In the following years, he was drawn to the theater again and again, where he was not only allowed to play the Irish national hero Michael Collins, but also co-initiated a stage version of Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs". In 2006, Fassbender finally got a role in a hit film: In Zack Snyder's graphic novel adaptation "300" Fassbender ventured on the side of Gerard Butler in the battle of Thermopylae.
In the same year he also played a more romantic part in François Ozon's controversial film "Angel A life as in a dream".
Breakthrough after the hunger strike
Fassbender also made a strong impression a year later in Quentin Tarantino's acclaimed Nazi grotesque "Inglourious Basterds". On the side of stars like Brad Pitt Fassbender mimed the British officer Archie Hicox.
The film premiered in Cannes, as did Andrea Arnold's social drama "Fish Tank," in which Fassbender was seen as the elusive new boyfriend of main character Mia's mother (Katie Jarvis).
Flops without negative consequences
