Ulf Blanck, born in Hamburg in 1962, always wanted to stay eight years old when he was eight, just like his heroes, the three ??? Kids, who never grow older than ten. However, he grew older, spent twelve years in a theater group alongside school and studying architecture, and discovered his interest in plays and audio dramas. Today, he works as a host, voice actor, and comedy writer for various radio stations. Ulf Blanck has been part of the author team for the series the three ??? Kids since its inception. He lives with his family south of the Elbe River near Hamburg.
