His most well-known works include roles in *Run Lola Run*, *Good Bye, Lenin!*, *Enemy at the Gates*, *(T)Raumschiff Surprise – Periode 1*, *Alles auf Zucker!*, *Taxidermia*, and *Pope Joan*. In 2008, Bischoff returned to the theater stage for the Berlin Festival production *Hommage à Klaus Nomi*, directed by Ulrike Ottinger, in which he portrayed the singer Klaus Nomi. In addition to his work as an actor, he also participates in radio drama productions. Furthermore, he plays the guitar and the cello. Bischoff lives in Berlin and, at times, in southern Norway.
