Ralf Bauer
At the age of 16, Ralf Bauer was already earning his living as an extra at the theater in Baden-Baden. After finishing school, he went to drama school, which he left after two and a half years. In 1987, he kissed 4,499 women in eight hours, after which he was included in the Guinness Book of Records. Bauer became popular as the presenter of the ARD program "Disney Club" and was seen there a total of 165 times from 1990 to 1993. The mime remained loyal to ARD and got a leading role in the successful evening series "Against the Wind". As a beautiful surfer, he made many female fans.

In 1995, Bauer had his first role in a TV film when he appeared in the "Tatort" episode "Bombs for Ehrlicher". He played another film role in the TV film "The Red Sea Adventure". Ralf Bauer celebrated his feature film debut a year later with the comedy hit "Workaholic". This was followed by further roles in TV productions such as "Never Kiss Your Boss", "Rose et Marguerite", "Lifeline" and "Die Wüstenrose". Ralf Bauer went to Los Angeles, where he did part of his acting training with Eric Morris. He then graduated from the Hamburg "Stage School Of Dance And Drama" and got the leading role in "Heroes and Other Cowards".

He then appeared in the film "Caipiranha". Bauer had a role alongside Maximilian Schell and Verona Feldbusch in the 1999 romantic love film "Whoever loves grows wings". Meanwhile, he was in a relationship with his colleague Esther Schweins. Until their separation, both were considered the dream couple of the German entertainment industry. He first gained a lot of attention as an actor in 1999 in the TV production "Tristan and Isolde" alongside Joachim Fuchsberger. Since then the two have had a close friendship.

In 2002 he starred in the comedy of mistakes "666 - Don't Trust Anyone You Sleep With". The successful theater production "The Priest Maker" followed with Fuchsberger and Bauer. In 2004 he appeared in front of the camera for "On the Traces of the Past". The productions "Mama and the Millionaire" and the TV series "5 Stars" followed in 2005.
