Today is the 39th birthday of the German actor Ronald Zehrfeld and I am actually quite disappointed about that -- see, I've been meaning to do a great big gratuitous post on Ronald for about a year now, at least ever since I first saw him in the terrific movie Barbara last spring. I mentioned him when I did do a great big gratuitous post (for the first time) on his countryman Alexander Fehling. And I mentioned Ronald again last week when I wished also-German Max Riemelt a gratuitous happy birthday.
But Ronald keeps being delayed! And today I have an appointment this morning that's keeping me from doing an appropriately large post on him. So these gifs from the 2008 German TV movie Der russische Geliebtewill have to suffice until I can organize myself. Sorry, Ronald! Until I do right by him y'all need to watch both Barbara and his more recent film Phoenix though - they are both wonderful, wonderful films. And until we meet again hit the jump for a couple more gifs of the birthday boy...
