Norbert Blecha (born 22 September 1950 in Vienna, Austria) is an Austrian film producer, actor and stuntman.
Norbert Blecha was born in 1950 in Vienna, the first child of Ernestine and Josef Blecha. Initially, he worked as a mechanic in his parents' car workshop.[1] He debuted in the film industry as a stuntman in the shooting of the film The Fifth Musketeer in Vienna (by that time he was also noticed by Ursula Andress and had a relationship with her for about a year).[2]
He then moved to the US in 1974, where he studied business at the University of Southern California and worked as stuntman and actor (he mentioned that he especially liked the car stunts). In 1984, he returned to Vienna, he founded Terra-Film production house and began his second film-related career as a producer. His first international success as a producer was the 1991 drama Requiem for Dominic, directed by Robert Dornhelm. Occasionally, he also acts in these films, like the role of Kurt in Red Heat or that of Werner in The Venice Project or the recent one of a Syrian arms dealer in Christopher Lambert's film Mothers.[3]
Norbert Blecha is married with the lawyer Katrin Ehrbar.[4]
