These are difficult days for Hamburg actor Joel Williams ("Notruf Hafenkante", "Tatort"). The 29-year-old, who is currently in a psychiatric facility, is now losing his job at the Kiel "crime scene" of the NDR, according to the Bild newspaper. There Williams was seen in the episode "The Great Fury" as an IT forensic scientist and Axel Milberg assistant "Ole Addo".

But after another episode ("Borowski and the Innocent Child of Wacken") it should be over. "According to the current state of planning, the character Ole Addu will not become part of the ensemble permanently," said an NDR spokeswoman for Bild. Almila Bagriacik (32), on the other hand, should be allowed to continue as Borowski's assistant "Mila Sahin".
The decision to continue without Williams should not be due to his freak out on Tuesday evening. "Our planning is not related to the current incidents," said the NDR spokeswoman.

Already at noon, the emergency services had been alerted twice by neighbors because of complaints about the actor's riot. The police had previously told him that he would be taken into custody if he continued to terrorize the neighbors.
Finally, another violent incident occurred. According to Hamburg police, Williams hit him with an iron bar and showed extremely aggressive behavior in the house. In such cases, the rioters are usually taken into custody to calm down. But in this case, it was determined that Williams needed medical attention. For this reason, he is currently in medical care, as the police explained.
Joel Williams was not only seen in the series "Notruf Hafenkante", but also starred in the children's series "The Peppercorns". The exact reasons for his confused behavior are not yet known. The police are continuing the investigation to get more information about the incident.
