Kai Scheve

Actor

Kai Scheve, born on February 11, 1966, in Erlabrunn, Saxony, is a distinguished German actor with an extensive portfolio in film and television. He studied acting after moving from East Germany for political reasons and was engaged at prestigious theaters in Düsseldorf and Zurich before making the transition to the silver screen. In the short film FÜR MIRIAM (2009), directed by Lars-Gunnar Lotz, Scheve plays the role of Christian Becker. The film follows a math teacher who, through no fault of her own, causes a fatal accident and finds herself in a complex relationship with her student Lukas, whose sister is the victim of the accident. Scheve's role is part of the traumatized boy's environment and contributes to the emotional dynamics of this impressive drama. Kai Scheve also appears regularly in major German crime series: he plays Inspector Robert Winkler in the ZDF series “Erzgebirgskrimi” and has appeared in productions such as “Tatort,” “Ein Starkes Team,” “Im Netz der Gier,” “Getrieben,” and “Der Überfall.” In the drama Idioten der Familie (2018), he showed facets of his acting range as the main character, while in the romantic comedy No Sex (1999), he played a tragicomic lead role dealing with the themes of loss and refusal to love. His depth and authenticity make Kai Scheve a fixture in contemporary German television and cinema: in roles ranging from sensitive conflict actors to stoic investigators, he repeatedly demonstrates emotional credibility.
