He worked in Gotha, Gorlitz, Breslau, Graz and Cologne before he was engaged at the Lessingtheater in Berlin 1905.

In 1913 he made his movie debut in "Eva" and in 1920 he played in "Das wandernde Bild" by Fritz Lang. In 1923 as well as in 1934 he played the part of Wilhelm Tell in films of the same name. In the 1920s he made radio programs with actress Ida Orloff and in later years he said that she was 'eine kleine dicke Madame' ('a fat little madame') with a voice that was still 'zauberhaft' ('magical'). In 1938 he received the title of state actor and in 1944 he was on the list of indispensable actors. He died in Vienna in 1949. Related persons • cooperated with Orloff, Ida |
