A "Rosenheim Cops" legend in a foreign series: Igor Jeftić's "Notruf Hafenkante" appearance kept many fans busy.
Munich/Hamburg - Igor Jeftić (51) is an integral part of the "Rosenheim Cops": Since 2009 he has been active there as investigator Sven Hansen, one of the most popular leading actors. Fans were all the more surprised to see him in a completely different ZDF early evening classic: Jeftić starred in "Notruf Hafenkante".
Now it is not uncommon for series actors to pursue other activities inside or outside of acting. Michi Mohr actor Max Müller, for example, is active as an opera singer, Christian K. Schaeffer performs swing music. And the stars also like to use their "Rosenheim Cops" breaks for other film and series projects.
Rosenheim Cops star at Notruf Hafenkante: "I recognized him"
In this respect, it was not surprising to see Jeftić elsewhere on the one hand, but on the other hand. This is evidenced by a series of posts and comments from Thursday (8.6.) in a large Rosenheim Cops fan group on Facebook. "Especially on 'Notruf Hafenkante' (The Big Bang): Igor Jéftic as hall owner," writes one fan. "I'm seeing it right now," "Me too," "Oh, I've just seen it!" and "I didn't know it yet," they write. "Yes, I recognized him!" it says elsewhere. Incidentally, similar astonishment often arises when the "Rosenheim Cops" episode with Andreas Gabalier is repeated.
"Is today Tuesday and Rosenheim Cops Day?"
Some fans were probably confused by Jeftić's sight on "Notruf Hafenkante" for a moment: "Switched on too late and thought: Is today Tuesday and Rosenheim Cops Day?" is just one post in this direction. For the background: On Tuesdays the evening before, the "Rosenheim Cops" are shown on ZDF, and on Thursdays at the same time the Hamburg series "Notruf Hafenkante". In both cases, these are currently repetitions until fresh material arrives.

According to fernsehserien.de, the "Notruf Hafenkante" episode with Jeftić was first broadcast on 14.03.2019. In it, he plays Achim Gerster, the owner of a warehouse. More should not be revealed, because the episode is now back in the ZDF media library and some fans may want to watch it now. Jeftić and Hamburg - that fits: As is well known, his series character Sven Hansen originally comes from Hamburg before she moved to Rosenheim. Meanwhile, his fellow investigator, who has dropped out, surprises with a new hairstyle. (lin)
