Actor Michael Kessler experiences fear in a secluded forest setting.
Michael Kessler, a resident of Cologne and a well-known actor and comedian, has a unique fear that has been a constant throughout his life - a fear of horror movies and dark forests.
As a child, Kessler's fascination with the spooky elements of horror movies was at odds with his intense fear. He would secretly watch them when his parents were away, but the fear would linger long after the credits rolled. This fear was further intensified during a youth group vacation, when an incident in a forest left him with a lasting phobia.
Despite finding horror movies to be "torture," Kessler found himself captivated by the new format of the reality show "Werwolves - The Game of Cunning and Deception." The show, based on the card game "The Werewolves of Düsterewald," sees thirteen players move into a remote village. Among the players, three are werewolves disguised as harmless villagers, their goal being to eliminate the others without being unmasked.
In a surprising twist, Kessler has taken on the role of a voice actor in the show. He will be joining the players in the remote village, facing his fears head-on.
The reality show is set to air on the first channel starting October 2nd at 10:50 PM. It will also be available in the ARD media library starting September 25th.
Kessler's fear of dark forests hasn't subsided, even today. He finds forests eerie and often searches his entire apartment after watching horror movies, looking for any potential threats. But with his role in "Werwolves - The Game of Cunning and Deception," Kessler is stepping out of his comfort zone and facing his fears in a way he never thought possible.
Stay tuned to find out how Kessler fares in the show and whether he manages to conquer his lifelong fear.
