Over his long career, he worked on stage and screen throughout Europe. Though most frequently in co-starring and supporting roles, he occasionally starred in films, most memorably as Dr. Orloff in "The Awful Dr. Orloff" (1961) and its many sequels, and as the title protagonist in "Fritz Lang"'s last film "The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse" (1960).
