  2. I've always liked Daniel Brühl. I've enjoyed his performances for years. I also have a special fondness for him because I once happened to meet him on a train.
    Seeing him play a Stasi strategist in a John le Carré story feels like a role tailor-made for him. And with Hugh Laurie and Matthew MacFadyen in the cast, this series certainly looks promising. We'll have to keep an eye on the premiere. A big hug!
