Jens Harzer receiving a TV Prize in 2017

• ... that Jens Harzer (pictured), a German actor with Hamburg's Thalia Theatre, in film and television, was chosen as the next carrier of the Iffland-Ring by Bruno Ganz? Source: many

• Reviewed: Fiona Peever
• Comment: The passing of this Ring doesn't happen often, it's for life, and he is only 47. Ganz carried it for 23 years.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: In the hook, I would have written "...Thalia Theatre, as well as in film and television, was chosen..." The current version of the hook could be misinterpreted by a layman to mean that the Thalia Theatre produces film and television programmes. In the caption, "receiving a TV Prize" is irrelevant to the hook. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 05:05, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Also, I think "by Bruno Ganz" should go right after "chosen". Otherwise, it would be misinterpreted as a ring/honor/prize created by Ganz.--- Coffeeandcrumbs 05:13, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for looking into this!

ALT1: ... that Jens Harzer (pictured), a German actor on stage, in film and television, member of Hamburg's Thalia Theatre, was chosen by Bruno Ganz as the next carrier of the Iffland-Ring?

The caption is not to illustrate the hook, but to explain what he's holding, because I don't think you see that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:47, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Expanded 5x between March 22–26. Long enough at 2094 characters. Appears free of plagiarism and close paraphrasing according to EarWig. It is sourced and neutral. Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px. Both hooks are cited and interesting. ALT1 may be better but I have left ALT0 as an alternate if it reads better to the promoter. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 11:13, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
