Daniel Brühl was born on July 16, 1978, in Barcelona to TV director Hanno Brühl and his Spanish wife. Brühl did not attend actor's training and started his TV career at the age of 15 in "Svens Geheimnis". At the age of 20, he made his movie debut in a supporting role in "Schlaraffenland" (Paradise Mall). After "Schlaraffenland", Brühl played leading roles in "Schule" (No More School), in "Das weiße Rauschen" (The White Sound) and in "Elefantenherz" (Elephant Heart), which won him the German film prize.
"Nichts bereuen" (No Regrets) and "Vaya con dios" both won him the Bavarian film prize. Brühl became highly popular to a wider audience with his role in Wolfgang Becker's immensely succesful comedy about the end of the GDR, "Good Bye, Lenin" (2003), which won him the German and the European film prize. After "Was nützt die Liebe in Gedanken" (Love in Thoughts) the next (smaller) hit was "Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei" (The Edukators, 2006) by Hans Weingartner, who already directed "Das weiße Rauschen". There Brühl portrayed an amateur revolutionary and accidental kidnapper. He also played in Michael Kliers "Farland".
From 2004 on, Brühl also starred in international movie productions such as the British film "Ladies in Lavender" and the British-French co-production "Merry Christmas". A great success in spain became his portrayal of the anarchist and bankrobber "Salvador (Puig Antich)" (2006). Brühl won several awards for his brilliant performance.
In 2009, Brühl was seen in a series of further prestigious film productions, including the World War II drama "Inglourious Basterds", directed by Quentin Tarantino, Julie Delpy’s period piece "Die Gräfin" ("The Countess"), and Alain Gsponer’s society comedy "Lila, Lila".
