Before he became an actor, Kretschmann trained to become an Olympic swimmer. At the age of 19 he left East Germany and began a month-long trek to West Germany to escape the East German regime.

During this trek he lost part of a finger, but it was surgically reattached. Kretschmann crossed four borders with nothing other than his passport and the equivalent of $100 in his possession. At the age of 25, he began acting, starring in numerous European films and television series.In 1991, Kretschmann was awarded the Max Ophüls Prize for best young actor for his role in Der Mitwisser. Popular in his native country, Kretschmann did not achieve fame in Hollywood until his role as Capt. Wilm Hosenfeld in Roman Polanskis 2002 film The Pianist. Kretschmann has since portrayed several military officers of the Third Reich period.
