life and career

Paul Wagner was the brother of the actor Konrad Wagner , who was three years his junior . He has been in front of the camera as a film actor since the early 1930s, and he had one of his first roles in Richard Oswald's film Der Hauptmann von Köpenick (1931). Although he was repeatedly in front of the camera over the next few decades, Wagner's appearances were limited to supporting roles. The character actor probably had his most significant film role in 1956 as the authoritarian father of Horst Buchholz and Christian Doermer in the youth drama Die Halbstarken . Towards the end of his life, in the 1960s, Konrad Wagner also appeared in several television films. Furthermore he worked in the course of his career as a theater actor, including many years at the Schillertheater Berlin . In 1932 he played the title role in Goethe's Egmont at the first Römerberg Festival in Frankfurt am Main .

Many people know Wagner through his voice, because in German dubbing in the post-war period he lent his voice to numerous international character actors. For example Fredric March (among others he was called Hombre and On a Day Like Everyone else ), Cedric Hardwicke (among others The Ten Commandments and Cocktail for a Corpse ), Dean Jagger (among others. White Christmas and Elmer Gantry ), Leo G. Carroll (among others. Der Preis ), John McIntire ( inter alia Psycho ) and Ralph Richardson (in Doctor Zhivago ).
