Bock was born in Kiel.[1] After graduating from school, Bock ran a café in his hometown, where there was also a cabaret programme. After studying acting at a private drama school in Kiel, he made his debut in 1982 as a theatre actor on the stages of Kiel.

He had already worked as a stage actor for about 25 years, beginning in 1982, in Kiel, at the National Theatre Mannheim, the Staatstheater Stuttgart, and at the Bavarian State Theatre in Munich, before his film work increased by the end of the 2000s. In 2011, four films he acted in were presented at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival.
