In 1950, Krug moved to East Germany where he worked in heavy industry
before he started his career as an actor and, later on, as a singer and
entertainer in the communist GDR. In 1968, he got the national prize
and was only at the beginning of his career. He starred in many
successful East German films until he applied for expatriation in 1977.
His first major commitment was the series Auf Achse (1980)
that brought him a high popularity in the West and further roles in TV
films, as in the very successful German whodunnit series Tatort.
