Robert Horky
Robert Horky (born March 20, 1908 in Vienna ; † January 26, 1983 ) was an Austrian stage and film actor , a radio director and a screenwriter .
Live and act
After graduating from high school, the son of chief corrector Anton Horky attended the Max Reinhardt seminar in his native Vienna, where he trained as an actor. Then Max Reinhardt engaged Robert Horky in 1931 at the Theater in der Josefstadt , to which he was to remain loyal for many years. Horky also appeared at the Deutsches Volkstheater (both Vienna). In 1932, Horky was involved in the script for the classic film Ekstase , his first cinema contact.
As a staunch National Socialist, he and the NSDAP party member Erik Frey, who was still illegal in Austria at that time, were commissioned by the NSDAP in 1934/35 to "infiltrate" the staff of the theater in Josefstadt in a National Socialist manner. Accordingly, after the annexation of Austria in March 1938 , Horky's career received some impetus. He played various batch roles in film productions at Wien-Film , several times alongside Hans Moser .
After the end of the war in 1945, Robert Horky was not particularly busy with either Austrian or German film; instead he found work as a director and author at the station Rot-Weiß-Rot , at the station Radio Wien and at domestic cabarets (program “Der Watschenmann”). He also sporadically occupied himself with Austrian television; Especially in the 1970s you could see him with small roles in ORF productions.
