Career
Masucci played Adolf Hitler in Er Ist Wieder Da (English: Look Who's Back), adapted from the book of the same name. Some scenes were unscripted and consisted of filming the reactions of people on the street to Masucci as he traveled the country dressed up as Hitler. Masucci was surprised to find that many people acted as if they were glad to see the Nazi leader. He has used the opportunity to speak out against racism.[3] The role earned him a nomination as best actor in a leading role at the Deutscher Filmpreis in 2016.
In 2017 he starred as Ulrich Nielsen, a police detective, in Dark, Netflix's first German-language original series.[4]
