Riemelt grew up and still lives in [[Berlin-Mitte]]. He has a two year old daughter.


Max Riemelt is self-taught and has never attended acting school. He had his first experience with acting in his school's drama club at the age of 11. His television début was in 1997 in a supporting roll in the two-part "Eine Familie zum Küssen".
'''Max Riemelt''' is a German actor born in Berlin in 1984 . He says "it was more by coincidence because I hadn't really thought about getting involved in acting and hadn't joined any drama groups at school".
Max decided early on that he was not interested in the latter: "I have an aversion to drama schools because their methods seem suspect to me. The way they treat people is sometimes inhuman, they build people up and then break them. Some people can cope with this, but I don't want to risk that". He explains that he feels "much happier in front of a camera than acting on a stage. I am a minimalist as far as my approach to acting is concerned" and prefers working for cinema, although "I am prepared to work for television if it is an interesting project, there is a good script and the characters are good." Similarly, he welcomes the chance every now and then to act in student films "because it gives me the chance to try out things and bring in my own ideas and often create quite different characters from the ones they had originally planned".


Max had a wider audience at Christmas, 1998 by taking a main roll in the miniseries ''Zwei Allein''. This was followed by nearly forty television and film productions. Then Riemelt followed his dream of repeating his Abitur exam. In 2007 he completed his time in school and refused military service to pursue a full-time acting career.
