Born in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg in 1976 and a resident of Saxony since 1997, Mario D. Richardt began his television career at just ten years old, appearing as a child actor for East German TV and on stage.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, he completed an apprenticeship as a painter and varnisher before returning to television. At 24, he won the Saxon Television Award for his self-created and hosted comedy show "Pommes mit Mario" ("Fries with Mario"). A year later, he became editor-in-chief of regional broadcaster Oberlausitz TV. Since 2001, he has been the face of MDR's hit show "Mach dich ran" ("Get Moving") and many other programs.
