Early life

Instead of starting an acting career at once, he first began to study history of art, philosophy and drama. Apart from that he took lessons in acting from Ruth von Zerboni and violin lessons in the Munich "Musikkonservatorium".

Career

Tramitz made his first media experience at the Munich radio station "Radio Gong", where he, together with Michael "Bully" Herbig presented the program Die Bayern Cops. In December 1996, he appeared in the German television program Isar 3, which was based on the radio show Die Bayern Cops ("The Bavaria Cops"). From 1997 on, he was a member of the German comedy TV series Bullyparade with Herbig and Rick Kavanian.

In this show he performed different sketches with various other famous actors including Annett Fleischer, with whom he later filmed the TV series Hubert ohne Staller.

Apart from that he also gave the old Ted Mosby (narrator) in How I Met Your Mother, Asterix in Asterix and the Vikings and Chick Hicks in Cars his voice.

Thereupon he became the German voice cast of Scrad/Charlie (Johnny Knoxville) in Men in Black II.
