Born April 17, 1979, Heidelberg, Germany (Germany) - German actor, producer, director and screenwriter.
Dukien never attended drama school, but he didn't need it - his mother Christina Loeb was a famous theater and film actress. She advised her son to complete drama courses under the direction of James Reynold.
He made his stage debut and has been featured in The Visit of an Old Lady, House in Montevideo and many Shakespearean productions. The actor made his film debut in 1997. He increasingly began to appear on television in cameo roles.
Duken played his first major role in 1999 in Friedemann Fromm's Schlaraffenland, where he co-starred Franka Potente and Heiner Lauterbach.
In the same year, Ken starred in the drama Gran Paradiso, which was nominated for a German Film Award. His hero, Mark, is forced to ride in a wheelchair. In preparation for filming, Duken spent three months learning how to handle this mode of transport.
In 2003, the actor played the main role in the film "Deadly Detour", and later appeared in the tragicomedy "Another League".
Dukien appeared as a communist spy in the film Karol. The Man Who Became Pope ”, and in the fall of 2006 he played the role of Anatoly Kuragin in the Russian-Lithuanian serial drama“ War and Peace ”.
In 2003, the actor co-founded the Grand Hotel Pictures film company. On the set of the first short-length joint project "From another point of view", Duken met his future wife, Marisa Leonie Bach. In 2009 he released his own psychological thriller Distance.
Duken is increasingly seen behind the scenes - in addition to his cinematic activities, he has shot several music videos, for example, Oomph! Rapper and the Curse.
In 2008, while working on the film "Max Manus: Man of War", Duken appeared as SS captain Siegfried Femer, who was the head of the Gestapo in 1945.
The role of a cruel sadist was a good preparation for the actor's participation in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. Duken can be seen in the fourth part of the film - he became one of the German soldiers who were keen on playing poker.
In 2011, Ken starred in the TV drama The Death of Laconia, in which he played Werner Hartenstein, the commander of a German submarine.
