He is the son of Austrian actors Hans Brenner, from Innsbruck, and Monica Bleibtreu, from Vienna. His great-great-aunt was actress Hedwig Bleibtreu. His name is pronounced ˈmoːʁɪts ˈjoːhan ˈblaɪptʀɔʏ. Moritz is married to Saskia de Tschaschell. He has a son with his former wife Annika.
Moritz’s maternal grandfather was named Renato Attilio Bleibtreu (the son of Maximiliane Bleibtreu, an actress). Renato was a writer and director, working on the stage. Maximiliane was the daughter of Austrian actor Sigmund Bleibtreu and Czech actress Amalia Hybl. There appears to be no publicly known information as to who Renato’s biological father was.

he looks like a Czech with a strong German touch
his head shape reminds me of Bill Paxton
Bill Paxton also has Austrian roots… but aren’t Austrians practically Germans by another name?
Yeah as European I confirm. He looked this race despite he was another American.
He’s not even American, he’s a German actor and he makes German films
Lol idiot I’m talking about the late Paxton.
Lol you clown he resembles a light Hispanic and light Arab has nothing of these two races.
Moritz sounds Jewish. He looks like a Southern European to me.
well interestingly enough Moritz is a German name meaning “dark skinned”
I was just about to send this guy in. Too late.
moritz’s maternal grandfather has an italian name, “renato attilio”.
he could pass for italian, spaniard, cuban, puerto rican… in germany nobody looks like him.

he’s tanned there..but he’s not German anyway
austrians are a german (bavarian) people… moritz is austrian but he looks like a latino with african admixture.
LOL
No one becomes African or Latino because they have olive skin
Yeah it’s the face that shows the phenotype not only the skin color.
And olive skin it’s a characteristic of the Semitic Levantine peoples, the Northern Africans and Middle Easterns not the Africans.
He looks Italian to me.
