Stipe Erceg, born October 30, 1974, in Split, Croatia, came to Tübingen in 1978 where he grew up. In 1996, Erceg started to study acting at the European Theatre Institute Berlin and graduated four years later. During this time, he already made his stage debut at Berlin's Studiobühne Hanns Eisler in 1998. After several short films and the medium-length film "Der Typ" ("The Man") that won an award at the Berlinale, Erceg made his feature-length debut in 2003 with a leading role in the drama "Yugotrip" – and won the Max Ophuels prize as "Best new actor" for his portrayal of a resorted Bosnian war criminal. In the same year, Erceg made his final breakthrough in the internationally successful, multiple award-winning film "Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei" ("The Edukators"), where he played an idealistic "anti-consumption terrorist" alongside Daniel Brühl and Julia Jentsch.
During the following years, Erceg established a reputation as one of the most talented actors of recent German cinema, always rising to top form when he portrayed damaged, emotionally torn or at least pretty weird characters: For instance, in the episodic film "Stadt als Beute" ("Berlin Stories", 2005), where he played a street hustler, in the TV drama "Kahlschlag" (2006), the sequel to "Der Typ", in the TV film "Ein spätes Mädchen" (2007), or in the RAF drama "Der Baader Meinhof Komplex" ("The Baader Meinhof Complex"), where he portrayed the RAF terrorist Holger "Starbuck" Meins.
