Hans-Georg Rudolph
Hans-Georg Rudolph (born May 24, 1908 in Hamburg ; † March 30, 1987 there ) was a German actor and film director .
Life
Rudolph took acting lessons as a teenager and made his stage debut in his hometown of Hamburg in 1926. Engagements followed in Berlin and Görlitz, among others. From 1941 to 1944 Rudolph worked as a theater director in Metz and in 1945 became deputy director at the theater in Halle. From 1948 to 1951 he was director of the theater in Gera and later worked as director at theaters in Kiel and Karlsruhe.
As an actor, Rudolph was mainly active in the GDR. The DEFA entrusted him with various roles from 1949, so he was seen in 1950 in Kurt Maetzig's The Council of Gods as director Tilgner and in 1951 played the Ministerialrat Behnke in Georg C. Klarens Die Sonnenbrucks . Georg C. Klaren also worked as a co-director on Rudolph's directorial debut career in Paris , an adaptation of Honoré de Balzac's novel Father Goriot . Rudolph's second directorial work, Kein Hüsung based on the eponymous story by Fritz Reuter , was stopped after a few days of shooting in December 1952 because the story was staged too epic. It was not until 1953 that the film was re-shot - without Rudolph's involvement. The scenes from the first film version are considered to have been destroyed. Rudolph later returned to Germany and was seen again in two supporting roles on television in 1969.
