Which Reinhard Nowak Ever became an actor, he met the legendary Helmut Kowaltinger (1928-1986), whom he met in Josefstadt, thanks for the. Nowak originally didn't think much about the actors because he had ““I always have the impression that actors are very high-profile, and they talk very arrogantly and strangely when they talk in private, just like they do on stage,” he says with a smile on KURIERTV's “Wonderful Honest – People Up Close.”

Nowak is not only at home in front of the camera and on stage, but also in the cabaret. “I love it when people laugh.”
In general, his heart belongs to theatre, although his big TV dream is to play an inspector one day. “I would support a low-budget series in which I play an inspector that would run for about 10 years, become a hit and at least 10 seasons would be shot. It would be very easy financially,” he says with a smile.

Speaking of finances, the beloved mime doesn't really have a lot of money. “Actually, I'm always in the red with my account and I don't really plan well. Saving and taking care of it or investing well, that's not my thing. That's very dry for me.”
His student days at HTL Mechanical Engineering were very dry for him. “I couldn't have a job, 9 to 5 or 8 to 5, 40 hours a week and do the same thing every day, sitting in an office somewhere, that was never going to be for me.”

He actually dreamed the big Hollywood dream – he almost became a world movie production, even as a stand-in Hippie KirklingBut at that time he had already signed a contract for the series “Dolce Vita”. “I thought to myself, if I had done this, I might already be known internationally, I don't know. Of course, every actor dreams of doing something bigger or a great movie. But in reality, I'm doing very well anyway. It went well anyway.” ”

Tomorrow, Sunday, Nowak will celebrate his sixtieth birthday. “I feel good. I'm an athlete, I play tennis, and I also train when I have time, when I don't have a lot of training. But it's just a number and I probably don't mentally notice any difference from 25. I've probably matured a little and don't do as much anymore.” “Bullshit like I used to, but other than that my thinking hasn't changed.”
There's only one thing that really bothers him: “Brad Pitt He is the same age as me. Of course, the comparisons always bother me: “Look how good he looks, he doesn't have the same kind of jaw as you,” he says with a laugh.
For his birthday he wants “a villa somewhere with a private beach. But that might be too big a wish. Or a good bottle of wine.”
