Hermes Phettberg

Actor

Hermes Phettberg, born Josef Fenz in 1952, is an Austrian journalist, artist, and television personality known for his avant-garde and often controversial work in the media. He gained notoriety with his television talk show "Nette Leit Show" (Nice People Show), which aired in the 1990s and was distinctive for its unconventional and provocative style. Phettberg's career spans various forms of media, including contributions to newspapers and magazines where his columns discuss a wide range of social, political, and personal issues. Despite suffering from health problems that have limited his activities, Phettberg remains a significant figure in Austrian culture, particularly noted for his candid exploration of topics often considered taboo. He has not been extensively involved in traditional filmmaking, and therefore does not have a notable list of films or film awards to his name.
