During this time, he collaborated with, among others, Kilian Riedhof and Marcus Hägg. He became known to a wider audience through the ARD television series *4 gegen Z*. Further television appearances followed in series such as *Tatort*, *SOKO Leipzig*, and *Ein Fall für zwei*, as well as in the two-part miniseries *Eine Liebe in Saigon*, alongside Désirée Nosbusch.

From 2006 to 2007, he played the lead role of Chief Inspector Mark Brenner in the Sat.1 crime series *Stadt, Land, Mord*.
