from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ekkehard Arendt (born June 10, 1892 in Vienna ; † May 10, 1954 there ) was an Austrian actor .

Life

He attended the commercial academy and the University of Vienna and completed a vocal training. During the First World War, which he participated in from the beginning, he served with the Austro-Hungarian Kaiserjäger .

After the end of the war, he worked in industry for a few years before finally becoming an actor. Arendt only occasionally belonged to the ensemble of a stage such as the Komische Oper in Berlin and the Vienna City Theater .

In contrast, he had been a well-employed supporting actor in film since 1927 , sometimes taking on important roles. Among other things, he embodied Fane in the Hitchcock film Mary in 1930 and the composer Josef Strauss in Johann Strauss, kuk Hofkapellmeister in 1932 .

His appearance in a Berlin cabaret in 1935 earned him a week in prison in the Gestapo.

During the Second World War, Arendt returned from Berlin to Vienna. After that he only got a few very short film appearances.
