Live and act
The trained violinist decided on a stage career and made his debut in 1892 at the Stadttheater in Sankt Pölten . After negative reviews he went to the USA in 1893 and worked in New York as a cartoonist for newspapers and as a book illustrator. At the same time he appeared at the German-speaking Germania Theater as an occasional actor.
Before 1900 he appeared on the stage in Colmar and Landshut . Then he appeared in cabaret in Munich and had his first successes as an actor in plays by August Strindberg , John Galsworthy and Georg Kaiser . Little Goetz, who had a speech impediment, then worked in Vienna, Berlin and at the Munich Kammerspiele .
In 1913 his film career began with the lead role of a vagabond unjustly accused of murder in Paul von Woringen's Die Landstrasse . Soon Goetz was committed to unsightly old men and outsiders. He was the village jester in Bogdan Stimoff (1916), the disgusting husband in Light and Darkness (1917) and the title character in Tragedy of an Ugly (1921). In The Mandarin (1919) and The Yellow Peril (1922) he embodied an Asian. He was the court jester in the large Munich production The Queen's Favorite (1922). In other films he portrayed landowners, professors and lords of the palace. In The Mill of Sanssouci (1926) he was seen as the philosopher Voltaire . One of his best roles in the film gave him GW Pabst with the Schigolch, the foster father of Lulu ( Louise Brooks ), in Pandora's Box (1928).
Goetz was buried in the Vienna Central Cemetery (11-2-4) in an honorary grave .
