Hans Sigl advocates for positive outlook and political engagement

Austrian actor Hans Sigl, known for his long-running role in the ZDF series “Bergdoktor,” is promoting a positive approach to life and aging. In an interview with Stern magazine, the 57-year-old actor emphasized the importance of treating the concept of finitude positively rather than focusing on decline.

Sigl also expressed his belief that public figures should take stances on social and political issues, stating, “Every person must be political.” He criticized the use of technocratic rhetoric in German and Austrian politics, suggesting that leaders should better explain how their decisions impact citizens. He specifically noted that former Economy Minister Robert Habeck was effective at clarifying complex connections.

Regarding the personal insults he receives online, Sigl noted that he typically responds with calm or simply blocks the sender, though he stated that legal action is an option if boundaries are crossed.
