Walter Jupé (6 April 1916 – 16 November 1985) was a German actor, screenwriter and dramaturg.
Life
[edit]After his acting training with Helene Lackner, Jupé made his debut 1943 on a stage in Oldenburg, played then in Weimar, before shifting to Maxim-Gorki-Theater in East-Berlin, where he acted until 1982. Aside from his stage activity, Jupé also started a film and television career at the DEFA and Television of the GDR (DFF) in the middle of the 1950s. Here he often played bad characters in historic flicks like in the telefilm The Heyde-Sawade Affair (1963). But in addition he also acted in cheerful subjects and contemporary flicks.
Together with writer Friedrich Karl Kaul he wrote more than 40 episodes of the thriller-like Fernsehpitavale (television pitavals), where historic criminal cases were cleared. Jupé shines in this successful television series of the DFF as writer and main actor. Later some episodes were realised as motion pictures like Lebende Ware (1966) or Der Mord, der nie verjährt (1967).
