Lisa Maria Potthoff reveals how improvisation secured her Eberhofer role
Actress Lisa Maria Potthoff shared details on the NDR Talk Show regarding how she secured her role as Susi in the Eberhofer crime series. During the audition, she was required to perform a quarrel scene in bed with a colleague.
After director Ed Herzog expressed dissatisfaction with the initial attempt, Potthoff improvised a version of the scene that combined verbal aggression with affectionate gestures under the covers. This spontaneous approach, which blended conflict with tenderness, reportedly met the specific comedic tone sought by Herzog and resulted in her landing the role. Potthoff has played the character for over a decade alongside Sebastian Bezzel.
