Famous Five 78 series in Germany

Post by Yan »

Perhaps this is interesting for you.

On this picture you can see how the German voices of the 78 series look today: :)

From left to right: Ute Rohrbeck (Jennifer Thanisch), Oliver Mink (Gary Russell), Oliver Rohrbeck (Marcus Harris), Maud Ackermann (Michele Gallagher).

They also were the Famous Five in the German audiobook series until episode 21.

Very intersting. Thank you. Were they the same ages as the TV Series actors?

Yes, they were born between 1963 and 1965, just like the actors. And they were born in Berlin (West), just like me. :wink:
Ute and Oliver Rohrbeck are sister and brother, just like Anne and Julian in the series. :)

By the way: On 19th may they will take part in a "Famous Five evening" in Berlin. An episode of the old TV series will be shown there. And afterwards the 4 will read excerpts of some episodes of the TV and the audiobook series.

They are still dubbing artists. Oliver Rohrbeck is the German voice of Ben Stiller, Oliver Mink is the voice of Mark Wahlberg and Maud Ackermann was the voice of Jennifer Beals in "Flashdance".

Thank you for this picture! Oliver Rohrbeck was the hero of my childhood. Well... his voice was amazing. It still is.
Can you tell me from where else I have to know Oliver Mink? He looks so well-known...
