Actor Malick Bauer Discusses Groundbreaking, Grimme Award-Winning Disney+ Series ‘Sam – A Saxon’


Malick Bauer, star of Disney+ Series 'Sam - A Saxon,' is working for more equality when it comes to storytelling in Germany.

Malick Bauer is seeing his star rise thanks to a knock-out performance in “Sam – A Saxon,” the first German-language original series on Disney+, and he’s using his new-found fame to help broaden diversity on German screens. “Sam – A Saxon,” the true story of a man who was celebrated as East Germany’s first Black police officer before his life took a fateful turn, won big at this year’s Grimme Awards — the German equivalent to the Peabody. Bauer also stars in the ZDF ensemble series “Wir,” about the lives of a group of 30-something friends, the fourth season of which bowed in September, and he has continued his work in theater, appearing regularly on stage in Berlin and recently in Hamburg.
