Norman Reedus as a German police officer in Antibodies

Norman Reedus plays the young police officer Schmitz and is just seen during the action-packed arrest of the killer at the beginning of the film. In an interview with Suicide Girls, which quotes Marc Shapiro’s book Norman Reedus: An Unauthorized Biography, he talks about working with director Christian Alvart (Pandorum).

Alvart met with him in Copenhagen and signed him up for antibodies, Reedus said. The business relationship turned into a friendship as the director visited the actor in hospital after a serious accident in Berlin and translated for him. “I would do anything for him“, explained the star Fielding on Film (via Norman Reedus Interviews). He can also be seen in front of the camera in Alvarts Pandorum and 8:28.
