Ernst-Marcus Thomas (born 23 March 1973) is a German actor, TV host, radio DJ and writer. From 2011 until 2021, he hosted The Afternoon Show on WDR 4[1] in Germany. For the past 20 years, Thomas has been a host for many live programs in Germany and Switzerland, including the national entertainment show, ZDF Fernsehgarten,[2] and the daily cooking show, ARD Buffet,[3] which aired on Germany's national TV channel, ARD.
Thomas studied drama and psychology at the University of Munich and graduated with a Master of Arts. He also followed an education as a newspaper editor at Augsburger Allgemeine Zeitung,[4] a major German daily newspaper.
Through his company, Charismedia, Thomas coaches CEOs and top managers throughout Europe on public speaking. He's also a lecturer at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences and the ARD.ZDF Media-Academy.
In 2015, Thomas published the best-selling nonfiction book Der Perfekte Auftritt (The Perfect Performance)[5] about the art of public speaking. In 2018/19, Thomas played a part in the action-comedy The Spy Who Dumped Me starring Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon. The movie was partly filmed in Thomas' hometown of Amsterdam.
His book 'Relationship Tango. How we Subconsciously Sabotage Love'[6] is a psychological essay, published in 2020. In July 2020 Thomas published his first foray into fiction: 'The Dead Don't Play Piano'[7] is an Amsterdam based detective story, for which Thomas used the alias 'Kees van Kikkerland'. Kikkerland ('land of the frogs') refers to the tongue-in-cheek synonym the Dutch are using for The Netherlands.
In recent years Thomas has been lending his German voice to international authors, especially from the U.S., producing their German audio books, with 30+ productions available on Audible.'[8]
