Biography
Director Hark Bohm engaged the 11-year-old Uwe Enkelmann for the film I can also build an Ark in 1973. In 1976 he played the leading role in Hark Bohm's youth drama **. The director finally adopted Enkelmann, who came from a problematic family background, and brought him to Munich. Enkelmann took Bohm's name and worked with him on numerous films. He played a leading role in Yasemin (1988) by Hark Bohm, which was West Germany's official submission for Best Foreign film at the 61st Academy Awards. He also starred in Hark Bohm's 1990 film Herzlich willkommen, which was entered into the 40th Berlin International Film Festival.
As a young adult he began an apprenticeship as a painter and varnisher, but broke it off and has been working as an actor ever since. On stage, he worked multiple times with the famous stage director Peter Zadek between the 1980s and 2000s. Bohm was also a prolific actor on German television, especially known for villainous roles, and appeared alone in the series Tatort nine times.
