He then attended the "Westfälischen Schauspielschule Bochum" and the "Hochschule für Film und Fernsehen" (HFF) in Potsdam Babelsberg (Germany). His last public theatre performance before leaving the HFF Potsdam in summer 1994 was the turning point, as he gained the attention of an assistant director. This led to his first role in the television film Der Verräter (1995). This performance gained the attention of the Austrian director Michael Haneke, who cast him for two of his productions. His breakthrough came in 1999 with his performance as Floyd in Absolute Giganten (1999). Comparisons were drawn with James Dean due to an aura of "lostness" and lonesomeness. Giering attended twice at the film festival Berlinale (Berlin, Germany). In 2001 he decided for a half-yearly rehab due to his alcohol consumption. From 2006 until his death in June 2010 Giering played the role of "Kommissar Henry Weber" in the TV series Der Kriminalist (2006). He was known for his intense and deep performances, and for his sadness and lonesomeness. He died on 23th of June 2010 due to multiple organ failure.
