- Ian Hansen's movie roles were few and far between; he is perhaps best known for his stellar performances on stage, including successes in Berlin and Hamburg, where he started as a member of Die Megaperls in the 1990s. He acted in plays by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Joe Orton, Nicky Silver and Nikolay Gogol as well as in the musical "Buddy" and even as The Witch in "Hansel and Gretel".
After studying with Teresa Nawrot in Berlin, Hansen landed his first movie role in Anonymous (2011), but his role wound up on the cutting room floor. This would happen to him two more times, with Hai-Alarm am Müggelsee (2013) (his scenes can be found on the DVD) and Bliss (2021).
In 2015, he made his directorial debut with On My Mother's Path (2016), an ill-fated French drama with Thomas Laroppe. He then spent the latter half of the 2010s preparing his first "own" movie, Un amant pour trois (2018), a likable screwball comedy starring Jérôme Pradon and Niclas G. Icewood. The production of Un amant pour trois (2018) was tumultuous: First, Hansen suffered a heart attack in August 2018, then, in May 2020, he had a stroke from which he quickly recovered.- IMDb Mini Biography By: El-Hibri

- Between 2015 and 2023, he worked on a movie called "Das Wort für Feuer war 'Ugah!'", starring Jérôme Pradon, Niclas G. Icewood, Mirko Kraft, André Schneider and Edelgard Hansen. Filming took place in 2018 and 2019, but the film was never finished. In 2023, having lost 70,000 euros, Hansen gave up during the post-production period.
