Ralf's acting career started in Hollywood! His first movie (Cyborg) was quickly followed by a second production: Universal Soldiers (1992), alongside Jean-Claude van Damme.

In 1998, Ralf became the first German actor to get the leading role in an American television series, "Conan The Adventurer". The successful TV series was broadcast in over 80 countries, and was shown on Germany's ZDF channel.

Appearances in blockbusters such as "Gladiator" (2000) and "The Scorpion King" (2002) followed. Successful collaboration with the German television broadcaster RTL regularly brought Ralf back to Germany for productions in his home country. For instance, Ralf played the lead in "Der Superbulle und die Halbstarken (The Supercop and the Rowdies)" and in "Held der Gladiatoren" (Hero of the Gladiators). In 2004 "Megalodon - Hai-Alarm auf Mallorca" (Shark Alarm on Majorca) came to German television and was enormously successful. More than 8.5 million viewers followed the summer action-thriller. The TV production achieved an incredible 38% market share and was a real hit (you can find information about all the films in Filmography).
