Most recently, he had a standout role in MGM's thriller Operation Finale opposite Sir Ben Kingsley, Oscar Isaac and Melanie Laurent, directed by Chris Weitz.

Liebrecht first entered the big screen in 2002 in the international co-production Deathwatch; only a year later he played Emperor Charles V in Luther by the side of Sir Peter Ustinov and Joseph Fiennes. In 2015 he guest starred in an episode of Homeland's fifth season.

For his role as Franz Faber in CBC's X Company, Liebrecht received the Canadian Screen Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Supporting Role in a Dramatic Program or Series in 2016.

His most important German credits include The Manns - Novel Of A Century, Halbe Hundert and Adidas vs Puma, where he convinced a wide audience in the lead role of Rudolf Dassler.
