Gerhard Thrush

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gerhard Karl Soor (born September 22, 1913 in Berlin ; † 1995) was a German actor on stage, film and television.

Live and act

Soor attended the secondary school in his hometown of Berlin, where he also received his artistic training and worked here in the second half of the 1930s as a game manager on small stages such as the Friedrichhagen Nature Theater and the Theater der Jugend. During the Second World War he worked as a stage manager for Heinrich Georges Schillertheater. Gerhard Soor began the post-war period as a stage manager at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm, where he was now also employed as an actor. Further engagements took him to stages in Munich, Bern and Düsseldorf, among others. Guest tours have taken Thrush to Scotland, England, Ireland, Canada and the United States.

Apart from a single German film appearance in 1955 and two DEFA productions in 1957, Gerhard Soor was only regularly in front of cameras late, from 1967 onwards. In the next two decades, the Berliner played supporting roles in a number of television films, which, however, hardly fell out of the ordinary artistically. Gerhard Karl Soor, who had a daughter from his marriage to the singer Gerda Wendt, died in 1995.
