Roland Düringers grew up in Vienna, Austria, where his father was a cloakroom attendant at the famous Viennese Burgtheater. Düringer, who was at that time pupil of a "Secondary technical college" met (because of father occupation) the actor Herwig Seeböck, who invited him to his theatre workshops and also to be part of his theatre ensemble. The first milestone in his career was with the comedy group "Schlabarett", where he also met Alfred Dorfer, who got a longtime partner in many upcoming projects. The group played two extraordinary successful programs ("Atompilz von links (1985)" and "Kultur gegen alle (1986)") in front of a live audience. Afterwards the group split and Düringer started his first solo program ("Hinterholzacht - 20 Jahre Abrechnung (1994)" as a stage comedian. In the same year he played a lot of different roles in the Austrian cult comedy film "Muttertag (1994)". 1992 he played his first bigger role in the TV series "Kaisermühlen Blues (1992)", which is still in production and still on air in Austrian television. Maybe even more famous is the TV series "MA 2412 (1998)" in which he played a magistrate at the side of his friend Alfred Dorfer. Düringer reached one of his fever pitches with the feature film "Hinterholz 8 (1998)", which was the second most successful movie in Austrian cinemas that year and which was just beaten by "Titanic (1997)". Düringer used to be a motor sports and car enthusiast, before he concentrated himself on a more sustainable mode of life. 2016 he formed his own Austrian political party. Show less «
