Hans von Morhart
Hans von Morhart (born January 1, 1896 in Munich , † November 1973 ) was a German film actor in Hollywood and the Federal Republic of Germany .
Live and act
Morhart had served as an officer with the rank of lieutenant in the German General Staff during World War I and emigrated to the United States (USA) in the 1920s . There, his specific knowledge of the inner workings of the German General Staff during the World War II was in demand, and so at the end of 1929 Morhart made initial contacts in the film industry as a technical advisor for the masterful Remarque film In the West . A good seven years later, in the 1937 war drama " Lancer Spy ", Morhart was hired again in this same position.
At this point he had been in front of the camera for a number of years (since the early 1930s). Morhart's roles were mostly tiny parts, and like many other Hollywood immigrants from Germany, he was regularly cast as a Nazi officer on duty , especially during World War II . Hans von Morhart appeared with these small roles in his heyday (1942/43) in well over a dozen films a year. Since the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany back in his old homeland, Hans von Morhart, who lives in Landshuter Allee in Munich, has now for the first time also appeared in German cinema and television productions. Mostly he was entrusted with the roles of established citizens and dignitaries (tenants, industrialists, engineers, district administrators). Hans von Morhart also worked as a writer and as an assistant director .
