Acting
Michael Ande (born 5 October 1944, Bad Wiessee, Germany) is a German actor, best known for his role as Gerd Heymann in the German crime-drama television series Der Alte, which he played between 1977 and 2016. He was a well-known German child star during the 1950s, playing a variety of roles, including choir boys. One film he acted in was Der schönste Tag meines Lebens (1957), in which he played a chorister in the Vienna Boys' Choir. Michael also played in two German films about the Trapp family: The Trapp Family (1956) and The Trapp Family in America (1958). These films were made some years before the 1965 U.S. film musical version of the Trapp films, The Sound of Music, was made. (The Broadway version appeared in 1959.) Michael played the role of Werner in the Trapp films. (In The Sound of Music, the boy's name is Kurt.) Ande, like many child actors, had difficulty continuing his career as an adult actor. He had problems being accepted as adult actor as he had such a youthful-looking face. He gained much attention for the role of Jim Hawkins on television in Treasure Island, based on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, which was broadcast on Christmas 1966 for the first time. Ande continued to act and appear on German television well into his seventies.
