Life

But in the mid-1950s, Lange also appeared in feature films. Because of his short hair and his voice, Lange was considered an ideal performer for officers, nobles and other people of respect. Some of his characters were sincere like the governor in Winnetou Part 3 or Colonel Munroe in The Last of the Mohicans , others were shady characters like the Reverend Hopkins in The Witcher , the doctor Dr. Mangrove in The Blue Hand or Anatol the servant in The Snake Pit and the Pendulum .

Lange also often appeared in television plays with a historical background as well as in literary films and crime series in which he acted in the usual role.
