German-born Hollywood actor Christian Oliver, known for his roles in films like “The Good German” alongside George Clooney and the 2008 action-comedy “Speed Racer,” tragically lost his life along with his two young daughters. The fatal incident occurred as their small plane crashed into the Caribbean Sea shortly after takeoff, as reported by local police. The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force issued a statement confirming Oliver’s death aboard a privately owned, single-engine aircraft on Thursday.
Prompt responses from fishermen, divers, and the coast guard led to the recovery of four bodies at the crash site. At the age of 51, Oliver, along with his daughters Madita (10) and Annik (12), as well as pilot Robert Sachs, lost their lives. The tragic incident occurred as the plane was en route from Bequia, a small island in the Grenadines, to St Lucia shortly after midday on Thursday.
The family seemed to be enjoying a vacation, as Oliver shared on Instagram a few days prior, featuring an image of a tropical beach. The caption read, “Greetings from somewhere in paradise! To community and love… 2024 [here] we come!”
He had a recurring role in the second season of the 1990s series “Saved by the Bell: The New Class,” portraying Brian Keller, a transfer student from Switzerland.
