Sascha Reimann (born 2 October 1973 in Neuwied), alias Ferris MC, is a German musician, rapper and actor.

Biography[link]

Ferris spent his youth in Neumünster, Kiel, and then Bremen. A recurring theme of social exclusion is predominant in his music.

He graduated from Hauptschule and served his apprenticeship as an auto mechanic. At the same time, he was a radio DJ and actor (i.e. Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten).^{[citation needed]}

Together with Flowin Immo and DJ Pee, Ferris founded the Freaks Association Bremen (FAB),^[1] which, in the quickly-growing German hip hop scene, achieved success rather quickly. They performed at several events, festivals, and on MTV and VIVA.

In 1994, FAB released their first album Freaks, on the small indie label MZEE. Three years later, they disbanded over a private, professional dispute.^{[citation needed]}

Ferris moved to Hamburg and in with Tobi Tobsen and finds DJ Stylewarz, who turned out to be a patient live DJ that was more fitting to Ferris' musical style. He released several records on Yo Mama.

In 1999, he released the single "Reimemonster" with fellow rapper Afrob, which was a success, and followed it with his first solo album Asimetrie. Later the same year he parted ways with Stylewarz, and wound up deeper in the Hamburg drug scene.^{[citation needed]}

His second LP Fertich was released in 2001, but the single "Flash for Ferris MC" and the corresponding music video don't fulfill the high commercial expectations. In 2003, Ferris released a musical autobiography, adequately called Audiobiographie and his last regular album Ferris MC.

On 17 March 2006, his last single was released on the greatest hits album Düstere Legende'. It concluded Ferris' career as a hip hop artist.^{[citation needed]}

As Maniax, a house and electro project with Marc Deal, he plays in clubs in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.^{[citation needed]}

Sir Carol Reed (30 December 1906 – 25 April 1976) was an English film director best known for Odd Man Out (1947), The Fallen Idol (1948), The Third Man (1949) and Oliver! (1968).^[1] He won the Palme d'Or for The Third Man and the 1968 Academy Award for Best Director for Oliver!

Early life and education[link]

The son of actor-producer Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree and his mistress, May Pinney Reed,^[2] Carol Reed was born in Putney, and educated at The King's School, Canterbury, an independent school. Reed served in the British Army during the Second World War, giving him many experiences which appeared in his later films.

Career and personal life[link]

He embarked on an acting career while still in his teens, but soon went into the role of producer/director. He worked as an Assistant Director with Basil Dean on the films Autumn Crocus, Lorna Doone and Loyalties and with Thorold Dickinson on Java Head. As director he was responsible for The Stars Look Down (1939), Kipps (1941), Odd Man Out (1947), The Fallen Idol (1948), Outcast of the Islands (1952), Our Man in Havana (1959), and The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965). The Fallen Idol, The Third Man, and Our Man in Havana are based on the work of Graham Greene.

From 1943 until 1947, he was married to the British film star Diana Wynyard. After their divorce, he married, in 1948, the actress Penelope Dudley Ward, also known as Pempie, the elder daughter of Freda Dudley Ward, who had been a mistress of the Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII of the United Kingdom and Duke of Windsor. They had one son, Max. A nephew was the actor Oliver Reed. His stepdaughter, Miss Ward's daughter, Tracy Reed, acted in numerous films.^{[citation needed]}

In 1953, he became only the second British film director to be knighted for his craft. The first was his mentor and collaborator, Sir Alexander Korda in 1942, who had also been closely involved in the production of some of Reed's most admired films.

Death[link]

Carol Reed died from a heart attack on 25 April 1976 at his home in Chelsea, aged 69.
