Manfred Jester

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manfred Jester († May 25, 1977 ) was an Austrian actor who is best known for his portrayal of "Uncle Poldi" in the first season of the comedy series Klimbim .

Life

Along with Ilse Scheer and Otto Zonschitz, Jester was one of the founding members of Theatermanufaktur am Halleschen Ufer, the most important independent group in Germany after Rainer Harjes . The theater manufacturer's ensemble performed together at the Paris Festival of Nations, in the Netherlands, Yugoslavia, Austria, Switzerland, at the Berlin Festival and the Ruhr Festival in Recklinghausen.

Jester had his first television appearance in 1971 alongside Grischa Huber in the horror film Vampira . Jester did not impersonate any of the characters involved, but instead moderated the individual parts of the episode film with a mixture of historical backgrounds and legends. In the same year he directed the comedy Perlico - Perlaco with Michael Pflegehar . In addition to Jester, Elke Sommer , Robert Wagner , Elisabeth Volkmann , Wichart von Roëll and Joachim Regelien were also part of the cast.

Three years later, Jester became known to a wide audience through another work with Pflegehar: He played “Uncle Poldi” of the Klimbim family from the comedy television series of the same name . His partners were again Volkmann, von Roëll and Regelien as well as Horst Jüssen , Ingrid Steeger and Dieter Augustin . In addition to "Uncle Poldi", Jester took on many other roles in numerous skits and, together with Wichart von Roëll, took on the role of double emcee, which was later taken over by Jüssen. Shortly after the series' first season, Jester was killed in a car accident.
