Walter Andreas Müller (born 3 September 1945) is a Swiss stage and film actor starring usually in Swiss German language cinema and television and stage productions.
Early life and education
[edit]Born in Zürich, canton of Zürich, in Switzerland, Walter Andreas Müller lives in the municipality of Russikon. His mother was a gifted painter and his father worked as a clarinetist and saxophonist. After a training as a bookseller and publisher, Walter Andreas Müller devoted 21 years of acting and attended acting school in Zürich.
Theater, television and cabaret
[edit]Thenafter Müller had firm commitments on various German stages, returned to Switzerland in 1972 and worked for several years at the Theater an der Winkelwiese,[1] and also starred on the Bernhard-Theater Zürich.[2][3]
National popularity gained Müller with Ursula Schäppi in 1977 in Kurt Felix' "Teleboy" show, and as the Chifler couple; even a song was listed in the Swiss radio charts.[4]
Walter Andreas Müller's probably most popular role is the character of Hans Meier in the Swiss comedy serial Fascht e Familie in the 1990s. Whether Gilbert Gress, Christoph Blocher or Tina Turner, he parodies all of them perfectly. But besides that, the multi-talented actor always cuts a fine figure and was present at pretty much every major theater in Switzerland. In addition, Müller still works as a freelance actor, radio host, and tours as comedian, impersonator and parodist.[1]
