Hans Marr (actor)
Hans Marr , even Hanns Marr , born Johann Julius Richter (* 22. July 1878 in Breslau , Empire , † the thirtieth March 1949 in Vienna , Austria ) was a German actor and director .
Life
He began studying art history, but then took acting lessons and made his debut in 1897 at the Königliches Schauspielhaus in Berlin. His other stage stations were Gotha and Görlitz (1898), Breslau (1901), Graz (1902) and Cologne (1904).
In 1905 he came to the Lessing Theater in Berlin, and finally in 1914 Hugo Thimig brought him to the Burgtheater in Vienna, to which he belonged, apart from the period between 1919 and 1924, until his death. The stately Marr was above all a hero actor and played especially in plays by Gerhart Hauptmann , with whom he was also friends.
Since 1913 he received film roles and also took on character roles such as that of Moses in the monumental film Die Sklavenkönigin (1924) and twice the title role of William Tell (1923 and 1934, here also in a French-language version). In Haydn's biography, The Musician of Eisenstadt , he embodied Prince Esterhazy .
