Markus is an actor, director, author, and entrepreneur. For more than three decades, he has shaped the German-speaking theater, film, and television landscape with roles ranging from comedy to classical drama and political theater.

Born in Berlin in 1964 as the son of cellist Heinrich Majowski, he trained as an actor under Else Bongers. His early engagements soon took him to major German stages such as the Theater am Kurfürstendamm, the Hamburger Kammerspiele, and the Renaissance-Theater. On screen, he became known through Die dreisten Drei, Der letzte Zeuge, Tatort, Rossini, and 7 Zwerge, where he also impressed in dramatic roles alongside leading actors such as Ulrich Mühe.

In 2018, Markus founded Majolo Bühnen & Film Akzente UG, which in 2024 evolved into the platform Flourish – Artists & Industries. Its mission is to make artistic intelligence accessible for companies, team development, and structural change. In artistically driven and economically efficient projects, Markus combines acting and coaching for corporate practice.

His most recent work is the novel Maria & Yasemin – The Fires of Tehran (2025), co-authored with Nicolai Tegeler. A literary-political narrative about love, trauma, and resistance, it is currently being presented on reading tours, stage productions, and in public discussions.

Markus is committed to education, resilience, and social participation – and to an ethos that unites art with responsibility. He also works internationally as an actor and has already realized several projects in English.
