Often unnamed, he acted in an immense number of minor and minor roles, mostly in comedies directed by Franz Antel . Retzer embodied servants, servants and police officers, sometimes crooks. He also acted in a similar capacity in numerous television films and series. In 1962, on the sidelines of the filming of the film , Mimi never goes to bed, he caused a scandal when he apparently hit Harald Juhnke out of jealousy during a dinner .
