When Melika Foroutan played an Iranian and Edin Hasanovic a Bosnian a few days ago, bringing the migrant backgrounds they actually have and draw on to television, it was a political statement, at least in prime time: Sunday evening. The two are now the Tatort team in Frankfurt. "So we are only depicting reality, even though in recent years more and more people have unfortunately rejected this reality," Melika Foroutan said in a recent interview. She is one of those people who expresses her political and activist views on Instagram and in interviews, emphasizing how this country would come to a standstill without the people who come to Germany from other countries. She says it is more important to her to show her stance than to fear for a job. And she says people should understand that they have to be loud together because "the many are the best protection for the individual." Melika Foroutan knows what it's like when jobs are no longer possible; she has been a television detective several times, and once, as the alcoholic detective Louise Boni, she was such a good television detective that the media was full of praise, although the series was canceled after just two episodes.
