Carl Bernhard de Vogt (born September 14, 1885 in Cologne , † February 16, 1970 in Berlin ) was a German actor.
Life
Carl de Vogt was the son of the typesetter Balthasar de Vogt and Elisabeth Mommertz. First he learned, like his father, the profession of typesetter and then attended the drama school in Cologne, where, in addition to acting, he also took singing and dance. According to his own statements, he was active as an actor and singer since 1908. He had his first engagement at the Stadttheater Mainz, where he appeared with Käthe Dorsch . He later came to Freiburg and then to the Royal Theater in Berlin. From July 22, 1915 to December 9, 1915, he took part in the First World War as a soldier . He got his first film role in 1916 in the film Sword and Hearth . As a result, he received other film offers and became known under the director Fritz Lang in the film Die Spinnen in 1919. In addition to his film work, he played at the Prinzregententheater in Munich and sang German folk songs, accompanying himself on the lute .
Carl de Vogt was married twice: with the opera singer Elsa Jülich and with the actress Cläre Lotto . He had two children with Elsa Jülich, the daughter Ruth Bruck (born around 1913), who became known as a chanson singer after the end of the Nazi regime, and the son Karl Franz de Vogt (1917–1999), who later became a film producer. Carl de Vogt and Cläre Lotto met in 1920 and subsequently worked together in at least 19 films, including Alone in the Jungle , On the Rubble of Paradise , The Caravan of Death , and Demon Circus .
As a successful film actor, Carl de Vogt made other films and also started a career as a singer. From 1927 he made several recordings as a chorus singer of pop music and as a reciter in popular, patriotic melodramas (e.g. The Foreign Legionnaire ) with orchestra accompaniment. In April 1933, Carl de Vogt joined the NSDAP as well as the NSBO and the SA . In addition to his acting activities, he dubbed foreign films, such as B. 1936/37 the film Ramona with the actors Loretta Young and Don Ameche . During the Second World War he gave concerts for soldiers at the front as part of the troop support , in which he reported on his travels and sang soldiers' songs and songs from home. After the war, Carl de Vogt, as a former member of the NSDAP, was initially banned from working in Berlin, so that he only appeared in smaller roles outside the capital.
He played his last film roles in 1963 in the film The Strangler of Blackmoor Castle and most recently in the television film A Gust of Wind at the age of 78. He lived in a retirement home in Berlin, where he occasionally performed as a singer with his lute. Even if Carl de Vogt was well known in the 1920s, not much is known about his life today. Although he has acted in over 130 films, he died almost unknown in 1970 at the age of 84.
