Peter Schiff (actor)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Schiff (born June 27, 1923 in Neustrelitz , † April 16, 2014 in Berlin ) was a German actor and voice actor .

Life

Peter Schiff was born as the son of the director and later artistic director Hermann Schiff and the actress Louise Schulz-Waida. In 1924 the family moved to Stettin , where Schiff grew up. In the spring of 1942 he was called up for military service, but was soon taken prisoner by the Soviets. After the Second World War he learned the acting profession with Marlise Ludwig in Berlin and got his first engagement at the theater in Greiz in 1951 . In addition to numerous appearances on Berlin theater stages, he was seen in many television productions. In the 1960s, Schiff also worked as a speaker for radio play productions and was part of the permanent ensemble of the puppet theater “ Die Kullerköpf ”.

The grave of actor Peter Schiff in the Nikolassee cemetery in Berlin.

Schiff also worked as a voice actor in the Germanization of films. In 1968 he lent his voice to the HAL 9000 computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey . The in no way mechanized, but emphatically gentle and empathetic voice remained friendly and patient even when the spaceship computer was underhanded and deadly decisions. It changed public perception considerably and shaped an image of the technologicalization by computers in the German-speaking area for decades , similar to what the original spokesman Douglas Rain was able to do in the original English version.

After Louis de Funès ' voice actor Gerd Martienzen fell ill, Schiff took on the dubbing for the first time in 1978 for the film Der Querkopf . On television he appeared regularly as a supporting actor in well-known series such as Drei Damen vom Grill (as Otto Krause, known as Ost-Otto) and Liebling Kreuzberg (as a lawyer Dr. Wolter).

In May 2012 he received the honorary award of the audio book and radio play award " Ohrkanus " for his life's work.

Peter Schiff, who fell ill with Parkinson's disease in old age , last lived in Berlin-Zehlendorf , where he died of pneumonia on 2014 at the age of 90. Schiff was buried in the Protestant cemetery Nikolassee , grave site F IV 02.

That's not true. At that time, the father was working under the management of Hermann Jacobs (1876-1936) at the Landestheater Neustrelitz as a director and director, where he a. a. Goethe's tragedy Clavigo newly staged (cf. Neubrandenburger Zeitung, October 30, 1923 and November 2, 1923). From 1919 to 1927 Jacobs was the artistic director of the Landestheater ibid. (Cf.
