Biography
Arne Elsholtz was born the son of actors and voice actors Peter Elsholtz and Karin Vielmetter. His sister Edith Elsholtz also worked in the dubbing industry. Due to his father's professional connections, who concentrated mainly on dubbing after the end of the Second World War, he was given the opportunity to enter the film dubbing industry at an early age. He completed his acting training with Marlise Ludwig in Berlin and acted for several years on theatre stages there. At the same time, Elsholtz developed a busy career as a writer for dubbing and director as well as a voice actor from 1964 onwards and was one of the best-known voices in the German-speaking world. While he was mainly engaged for comedic roles in the 1970s and 1980s, he was later cast in more serious and serious characters. Since Caddyshack, Elsholtz has been used, with a few exceptions, for the dubbing of Bill Murray, and since A Fish Called Wanda for Kevin Kline. Elsholtz's voice has also characterised character actor Tom Hanks since the late 1980s, including in his Oscar-winning roles in Philadelphia and Forrest Gump. Other actors to whom Elsholtz has repeatedly lent his characteristic nasal voice include Jeff Goldblum and Eric Idle.

Since the 1970s, Arne Elsholtz has been one of the most established voice directors and writers in the German-speaking world.

As a voice-over artist, Arne Elsholtz has appeared in numerous radio programmes, documentaries and commercials.
