Early life
[
edit
]
Hoss was born in Stuttgart, West Germany. Her father,
Willi Hoss
[
de
]
, was a German
trade unionist
and politician (member of the
Bundestag
with
The Greens
). Her mother,
Heidemarie Rohweder
[
de
]
, was an actress at
Stuttgart National Theatre
and later director of the
Esslingen
-based Wurttemberg State Playhouse (
Wurttembergische Landesbuhne Esslingen
).
Career
[
edit
]
Hoss acted in radio plays at the age of seven and appeared on stage for the first time at the age of 14.
[1]
In 1997, Hoss graduated from the
Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts
in Berlin, where she studied alongside
Lars Eidinger
,
[2]
Fritzi Haberlandt
,
Devid Striesow
and
Mark Waschke
.
[3]
Her first major success was the title role
Rosemarie Nitribitt
of
Bernd Eichinger
's
A Girl Called Rosemary
in 1996, a period drama (based on an actual scandal) set in the 1950s that looks back at the days of West Germany's postwar
Wirtschaftswunder
with, what a
New York Times
review calls a "curdling cynicism".
[4]
In 2000, Hoss was one of the
Shooting Stars
at the
Berlinale
. Her close collaboration with director
Christian Petzold
has been extremely successful: she won the 2003
Adolf Grimme Award
for her role in his film
Something to Remind Me
and two years later the Adolf Grimme Award in Gold for
Wolfsburg
. Her performance of
Yella
, earned her the
Silver Bear for Best Actress
at the
Berlin International Film Festival
in 2007 and the
German Film Award
in 2008.
[5]
Another collaboration with Petzold,
Barbara
, in which Hoss plays a doctor exiled to an East German provincial backwater in 1980, premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2011 and the
Toronto International Film Festival
in 2012. In a review of her 2009 film
A Woman in Berlin
,
The New York Times
remarked that Hoss, "whose strong frame and graceful bearing suggest both old-style movie-star glamour and Aryan ideals of feminine beauty, is an actress of haunting subtlety, and the film, episodic, ambitious and a few beats too long, is held together by the force of her performance."
[6]
The
Washington Post
,
reviewing
Phoenix
(2015), again directed by Petzold, wrote "Hoss’s breathtaking portrayal, especially in the film’s final minutes, makes it clear why director Christian Petzold has made a habit of working with her".
[7]
She later made her name in Hollywood playing a German BND agent in three seasons of the series
Homeland
(2014?2017). Hoss starred in the 2020 miniseries
The Defeated
, and was a series regular in season three of
Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan
in 2022.
[8]

Deutsches Theater
in Berlin from 1998 to 2013, where she appeared as
Medea
and as Franziska in
Minna von Barnhelm
(2005).
