Actor and comedian Mike Müller spent some time with us recently talking about his Swiss series The Undertaker (Der Bestatter). During our conversation over Skype Mike regaled us with some anecdotes from the set, his fondness for Danish series, The Bridge (Season 1 | Season 2) and what he thinks might be “the end of Swiss comedy.” We can only hope that his prognosis is wrong so we can keep enjoying more seasons of Luc Conrad and the rest of the talented gang at The Undertaker! Below is part of 2 of 2 of our chat with Mr. Müller. You can read part 1 here. For the best experience, we recommend turnings captions on in your YouTube player.
