Actor Ulrich Mühe Dies

Posted by Tracey Coyle

Actor Ulrich Mühe has died. The 54-year-old was best known abroad for his portrayal of an East German Stasi secret police officer in the Oscar-award winning film "The Lives of Others."

Mühe's family said on Wednesday that the actor had died on Sunday.
The actor had been suffering from stomach cancer, which he only confirmed in a newspaper interview that was published the day of his death.

He won Germany's highest film award for his role as Stasi officer Gerd Wiesler in "The Lives of Others" ("Das Leben der Anderen"). The film itself attracted audiences worldwide after earning an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film this year as well as top prizes in Europe and Germany.
