Krauss received his artistic training in the late 1920s and appeared on smaller Viennese stages such as the Kammerspiele in the early 1930s . In 1933 he was accepted into the Burgtheater ensemble , to which he remained loyal for the next three decades until shortly before his death. During these years Krauss played an abundance of character roles such as Don Cesar in Grillparzer's Ein Bruderzwist im Haus Habsburg , Gernot in Mell's Der Nibelunge Not , Absyrtus in Das goldene Vlies (again Grillparzer), Arnold in Gerhart Hauptmann's Michael Kramer , and Aljakos in Iphigenia in Delphi by the same author, the Adrast in Kleist's Penthesilea , the Marchbanks in Shaw's Candida, and the devil in Jedermann .
During these early years, Krauss also ran the Otto drama school before setting up his own training facility in 1948 with the Krauss drama school. His teaching methods were based on those of Stanislawski and the American method acting . Karlheinz Böhm and Oskar Werner were among his most famous students .
