Berlin, Germany:
Jürgen Prochnow (Berlín, 10 de junio de 1941) es un actor alemán. Se dio a conocer internacionalmente por su papel de capitán del submarino alemán en Das Boot (El submarino, 1981), de Wolfgang Petersen, y como el duque Leto Atreides en Dune (1984), de David Lynch. Posteriormente ha intervenido por lo general en papeles de malo, en producciones de Hollywood y de varios países europeos. Prochnow nació en Berlín aunque se crio en Düsseldorf. Su padre era ingeniero y tiene un hermano mayor, llamado Dieter. Estudió interpretación en la Folkwang Hochschule en Essen. Gracias a sus personajes en la gran pantalla y su fluidez en inglés, se ha convertido en uno de los actores alemanes más exitosos de Hollywood. Entre sus películas de mayor éxito, se pueden citar Beverly Hills Cop II (protagonizada por Eddie Murphy), la oscarizada El paciente inglés, Air Force One (con Harrison Ford) y el megaéxito El Código Da Vinci, protagonizado por Tom Hanks. En 2008 participó en una producción española, La conjura de El Escorial, con Julia Ormond y Jordi Mollá, entre otros. Encarnó a Arnold Schwarzenegger en una película sobre la carrera política del actor en California, See Arnold Run. Curiosamente, Prochnow había sido uno de los actores considerados para el papel principal en Terminator, que finalmente recayó en Schwarzenegger. También interpretó a un personaje secundario en la película Wing Commander. Como actor de doblaje, dobló la voz de Sylvester Stallone en la versión alemana de Rocky y Rocky II. Durante el rodaje de Dune sufrió un accidente por la explosión de una lámpara que le dejó cicatrices en la cara. Hay que ser justo, y decir que antes del filme Das Boot y de su etapa internacional, Prochnow ya era conocido en Alemania con trabajos precisamente con el director Wolfgang Petersen, como en Einer von uns beiden de 1974, donde encarnó al estudiante Bernd Ziegenhals, o en La consecuencia —Die Konsequenz— de 1977. Sin duda Junger Prochnow es un actor completo, e "hijo predilecto" de Wolfgang Petersen.
