Gregor Bloéb (born 3 January 1968 in Innsbruck, Austria) is an Austrian theater, film, and television actor.

Life

Career

Bloéb first gained fame in 1990 by impersonating the mayor's and hotelier's son "Stefan Wechselberger" in Felix Mitterer's Piefke Saga, in which his brother Tobias Moretti also starred.

After six years of directing the Theatersommer Haag, Adi Hirschal handed over this position to Gregor Bloéb at the end of 2008, who played "Phileas Fogg" in Around the World in Eighty Days. Bloéb played the leading role in the play Cyrano de Bergerac in the first year of the artistic directorship.

Apart from acting, Bloéb also devotes himself to music. His band Gregor Bloéb und seine Tantiemen is now known far beyond the borders of Tyrol with its program consisting of music and comedy.

From March 2006 Gregor Bloéb took part in the 2nd season of the ORF show Dancing Stars alongside his dance partner Michaela Heintzinger as a celebrity dancer. He had to leave the show after the 5th round, on April 7.

In the film Keinohrhasen (2007) he plays a couple with his wife Nina Proll, in a guest role.

In 2010, he played Bushido's tour manager Marek Lieberberg in the Bushido biopic Zeiten ändern dich.

In 2013 he played Franz Jägerstätter in the eponymous drama Jägerstätter by Felix Mitterer, the premiere was on June 20, 2013, at the Theater in der Josefstadt. In the same year, he played Sigismund in the remake of Ralph Benatzky's Singspiel The White Horse Inn [de]. It was based on the old Berlin comedy The White Horse Inn by Oskar Blumenthal and Gustav Kadelburg. Bloéb thus follows in the footsteps of the 1952 film adaptations by Ulrich Beiger and Gunther Philipp, which still flickered across the screen with the legendary Hugo Lindinger – he played the mayor. At Stiegl's Bockbierfest in the city of Salzburg, the first clips of the reimaging with Bloéb could be seen.

Since 2019, he has appeared in the roles of the "Guten Gesell" and the Devil at the Salzburg Festival, directed by Michael Sturminger in Jedermann.

Private

Bloéb has two children with his former partner, actress Ute Heidorn, including actress Josephine Bloéb.[1][2] He lives in Berlin and Pfaffenhofen. Bloéb and Nina Proll's son was born in 2008, shortly before that they had married, and their second son was born in 2010.[3] Bloéb's brothers are Christoph Bloéb and actor Tobias Moretti.
