Praise for Zucker

Critic David Denby praised his performance in Zucker, writing "veteran German theater and film actor Henry Hübchen gives this middle-aged rogue a Bellovian gusto. Hübchen has the eyes of a gentle bull and a teenager's manic energy."[4] The New York Times said the character, Jaeckie Zucker, "suggests a German Jewish Rodney Dangerfield in his gleeful boorishness."[5]

Other work and background

In an August 2004 profile, German public broadcaster Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk said Hübchen is best known in Germany for a role on the long-running television series Polizeiruf 110. The profile says that before coming to film, he was a failed physics student, wrote songs for the East German rock group City and was twice East German windsurfing champion (in 1980 and 1981).[6]

According to the article he studied drama in Berlin and Magdeburg.[7] He won the Berlin Theater Award (Theaterpreis Berlin) in 2000.[8]

He has two daughters, Theresa and Franziska, with his wife Sanna Hübchen.[6]
