Walter Andreas Müller (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
Born in Zürich, canton of Zürich, in Switzerland, Walter Andreas Müller lives in the municipality of Wetzikon. 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
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]
