Erwin van Roy
Erwin van Roy , actually Erwin Mylius , (born September 23, 1894 in Schöneberg near Berlin ; † December 6, 1973 in Berlin-Wannsee ) was a German film actor and cabaret artist .
Live and act
The son of a patent attorney Albert Friedrich Mylius attended a secondary school and received his artistic training from Olga Orsella at a young age. Mylius appeared at various cabarets, variety shows and revue theaters in the Reich capital from 1913 and began to film sporadically at this time. Van Roy ended his theatrical activity in Berlin as early as 1926 and then appeared as a lecturer on stages at home and abroad.
With the dawn of the sound film age, van Roy was regularly brought in front of the camera and was a popular supporting actor throughout the 1930s. Van Roy played the entire range of batches: from a farm boy to a detective to a conférencier and director. The outbreak of World War II abruptly ended his film career, and Erwin van Roy, who had also worked as a broadcaster up until then, was drafted.
Apparently he did not resume his artistic activity after the war or only for a short time. His further professional career is unknown.
