Lunch with WRS: Actor Anatole Taubman
Wednesday, 5 October, 2011
Wednesday, 5 October, 2011
Actor Anatole Taubman was born in Zurich. His father was from the former East Germany and his mother from Austria. He spent some of his childhood in England and attended acting school in New York. That background has left him fluent in four languages (five if you include Swiss German)—and that in turn is reflected in the cosmopolitan nature of his work in England, France, Germany, Switzerland and the United States. Perhaps best known in the English speaking world for playing the villain Elvis in the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace, he has starred and co-starred in over 60 feature films and TV productions. Outside of work, he’s a spokesman for UNICEF Switzerland. Nowadays, he lives in Berlin with his partner, the German actress Claudia Michelsen and two daughters. WRS’s Vincent Landon talks to him:
