Dirk Gunther Mohr

Dirk Gunther Mohr started acting when he was a child, performing in his parents’ living room, re-enacting scenes of Rocky and Scarface. His dream was to play in big movies and play alongside his heroes
Al Pacino and Robert deNiro. At a young age he also wrote his first film scripts.

Dirk’s career really took off at the age of 30, after following acting classes at several institutions. There he was trained in Method acting, a technique in which actors fully immerse themselves into their character, using their own memories and personal experiences to convey the story as sincerely and emotionally expressive as possible.

During the past years, Dirk worked on many movies, tv productions and commercials. He also wrote the scripts for two movies about the life of King Henry VIII, HVIII: The Male Heir (2015) and A Royal Love (2016) for the Capo di Famiglia trilogy (2017, 2020 and 2022) and for his latest movie Bezuidenhout (2025). In all movies he also starred as the lead character. Capo di Famiglia Part III was his debut as a director.
