It has now been 27 years since Charles M. Huber last took on the role of detective Henry Johnson.
Now he reveals why he left “The Old One”.
Munich – It was actually only supposed to be a guest role, but Charles M. Huber (67) took the hearts of “Der Alte” viewers by storm and ended up staying for a proud eleven years.
In 1997, Charles M. Huber was seen for the last time in the popular crime series.
But why did he get out at all?
He has now revealed this and is making serious allegations against the ZDF production.

Charles M. Huber can be seen on TV again.
On February 1, 2024, the 67-year-old will celebrate his TV comeback in the ARD Passau crime thriller “Give for Gold” (8:15 p.m.).
“It's a bit like coming home.
Back to the roots.
I grew up in Lower Bavaria,” the actor tells BUNTE.
In 1986, Charles M. Huber was seen for the first time in the ZDF hit series “Der Alte”.
After playing Detective Inspector Henry Johnson for a year, the guest role finally became a leading role.
In 1997 it was over.
He then pursued international roles and became involved in politics.
He has been a member of the German Bundestag for the CDU since 2013.
But why did Charles M. Huber actually leave “The Old Man”?

Serious allegations: Charles M. Huber “racially insulted” on the set of “Der Alte”
Charles M. Huber has now explained this again very clearly.
“Because a member of the production staff insulted me racially.
I then left the set and shortly afterwards the series,” said the actor in the BUNTE interview.
If he had stayed, he would have resorted to a slap in the face and that would have “conformed to the stereotype of the violent black man,” continued Charles M. Huber.
“That would have been the end of my career.
Well, that came a little later.
Now I'm starting again."
