Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Hans-Günter Brünker Jr was born March 27th, 1967 in Bad Brückenau, Germany, the third child of seamstress Blanka Brünker and waiter Hans-Günter Brünker sen. Although he was already performing on stage during high school (Gymnasium) he decided to pursue a scientific career first. He studied chemistry at Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg, where he obtained a diploma and a PhD. After leaving university he worked for five years for the the international management consulting firm McKinsey&Company, living and working in Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, the US and Germany. Later he started a career in the biotech industry co-founding two successful biotech start-ups, leading the latter one as CEO.

After this scientific and industrial career, Hans-Günter decided that it was about time to go back on stage. For four years he attended a well renowned acting school in Cologne, Germany, having already first appearances on TV during that time. Since then he performed as speaker, including various audio-book productions, has extended his presence on screen and has performed in a number of well received theater productions. Lately he focused on stage on immersive theater performances e.g. with SIGNA, the well renowned Danish/Austrian theater company in 'Sons&Sons' (a production for the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg) and 'Us Dogs' (a Nestroy Award winning production in collaboration with Volkstheater Wien and Wiener Festwochen 2016).

Hans-Günter is married and has three children.
