Source-derived summary

Philippe Reinhardt (born 14 May 1981) is a Swiss actor.

Early life

Philippe Reinhardt was born on 14 May 1981 in Zürich and grew up in Zürich. After attending acting classes in Munich, Hamburg and Zürich, he got his first stage-roles at German and Swiss theatres.

Career

His first roles were for German television-series, but quickly followed by movie offers such as the German comedy 1½ Knights – In Search of the Ravishing Princess Herzelinde along star Til Schweiger. The same year he also starred in the Swiss film Champions. This was followed by a role in the disaster movie Factor 8 for German network ProSieben. He also got the lead role in the short film Der Zauberregen alongside German actress Alexandra Kamp. In Bern's Theater at the Effingerstrasse he was on stage for the play Sein oder Nichtsein. In 2010 he starred in the feature film Simplify your soul for the screenwriter and director Markus Boestfleisch.

By 2012 he also started being cast in international productions, most notably Andrey Malyukov's historical World War II soccer-drama Match and Fedor Bondarchuk's 3D-production Stalingrad, which was Russia's official entry for the foreign-language Oscars in 2013.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Philippe Reinhardt” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Philippe, Reinhardt and Swiss provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 5, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2087712. VIAF identifies the subject as 311658852. The Library of Congress control number is no2019033524. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1981, 2010, 2012 and 2013.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
