It takes this face of the media spokesperson, editor of the blue news, a few milliseconds to understand who Olivier Imboden is, too: the mafia-type construction tycoon from the comedy-crime series in the Valais with David Constantin as cop Pax.
Head of the media department, amateur actor and politician
Olivier Imboden is Head of Media, Newcomer Actor and Mid-Range Politician. To be precise: the Grand Council of Upper-Central Valais. Professional chameleons can have this tagline on their LinkedIn profile.
He was recently on the set of the third and fourth seasons of “Tschugger”. The role of stormy construction engineer Fricker left you wanting more.
“I think I have the potential to replace Mike Müller,” Olivier Imboden, also known as Fricker, jokes.
