  • Trivia
    His decision to appear in the Nazi propaganda piece 'Jud Suess' (1940), led to Goebbels naming him an 'actor of the state' and appointing him vice president of the Reich Theatre Chamber. Though he claimed after the war to have been coerced into playing the part, he was convicted in court as a minor war criminal, fined and forced to move to Austria. This effectively curtailed his film career and thereafter, he only appeared occasionally on stage in Vienna until his rehabilitation to Germany in 1954.
