Hans Sigl, born in 1969 in Styria, initially trained as an actor and singer from 1990 to 1993 at the Tiroler Landestheater in Innsbruck; this was followed by theatre engagements in Innsbruck, the Bremen Shakespeare Company and the Stadttheater Freiburg.

After his decision to turn his back on the theatre, Sigl appeared in countless TV and film productions, including the 2001-2007 series “Soko Kitzbühel”.

In 2008, Hans Sigl took on the title role in the ZDF production “Der Bergdoktor”, in which he has now appeared for 17 seasons in the role of Martin Gruber. The series is one of the most popular on German television … with regularly sensational viewing figures.

In addition to his television work, Sigl has always remained loyal to the theatre and regularly performs his own solo evenings. And he has discovered his love for readings and enjoys taking audiences into the realm of literature by Schnitzler, Mann, Zweig, Bucay and many more.

Among the awards Sigl has received for his work are the Austrian film and television award Romy, which Sigl won four times as the most popular series actor, the audience award “Goldene Henne” and “Die goldene Kamera” in the team for “Der Bergdoktor”.

The company Sony, together with Reclam, discovered his voice in 2017 and has since set numerous literary classics from Kafka to Goethe to music with Hans Sigl, which can be heard on Spotify and elsewhere.

It is precisely because of his versatility that Hans Sigl is a regularly sought-after guest and now also a presenter on major games, Saturday evening and talk shows on TV.
