A Munich native, Christian Tramitz (born in 1955) took acting lessons while still continuing his university studies in art history, philosophy and theater studies. His father is a film producer, and on his mother's side Tramitz comes from the Hörbiger acting family. He gained his first media experience together with Michael Herbig on the radio show "Die Bayern Cops", which later gave rise to the TV series "Isar 3".

His major television breakthrough came in 1997 with the launch of "Bullyparade": for five years, working both as an actor and as a writer together with his friends Michael "Bully" Herbig and Rick Kavanian, Tramitz entertained millions of viewers with sketches such as "Traumschiff", "Sissi und Franzl" and various Western parodies.
