5x expanded by Grimes2 (talk), Dr. Blofeld (talk), and Gerda Arendt (talk). Nominated by Grimes2 (talk) at 10:03, 30 June 2022 (UTC).

Prose went from about 3k to 15k in a week. Best source is Tagesschau (German): "Er verkörperte weit über 200 TV-Rollen," which very roughly means "He played well over 200 roles." I think the initial hook is the best (the alt, imho, has too many 'fun facts' in it), but could the ending be changed to "appeared in over 200 television productions" (matching the article)? I feel like that flows better and feels more grammatical. @Grimes2: any thoughts?--Gen. Quon_[Talk]^{(I'm studying Wikipedia!)} 16:49, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
I agree. @Gerda Arendt: is the true nominator. I fixed only the template. Want to hear her opinion. Grimes2 (talk) 16:58, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

ALT0b ... that Ernst Jacobi, known for playing Gauleiter Löbsack in Volker Schlöndorff's film The Tin Drum, played well ~~appeared in~~ over 200 roles on television? (because there are sometimes several roles in one production) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:59, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Is my tweak to your ALT0b OK?--Gen. Quon_[Talk]^{(I'm studying Wikipedia!)} 13:14, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
I tried to not say "played" twice. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:52, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
