After completing his acting studies in Breslau , Klose made his debut at the theater there, where he worked until he was called up in 1943. After the end of the war, engagements in Waldshut, Heidelberg, Karlsruhe, Switzerland and Görlitz followed, before he started working at the state theaters of Saxony in Radebeul and its branch, the Felsenbühne Rathen , from 1951 . A serious illness interrupted his career as a theater actor in 1966, which he resumed in 1983 with an engagement at the Dresden State Theater, before finally ending his career in 1989 due to another serious illness.

In addition to his work for the stage, from 1954 he also worked as an actor in film and television productions for DEFA , German TV radio (DFF) and Mosfilm , for example in the "first official television series of the GDR" in Rote Bergsteiger . Later, Klose concentrated on directing, initially in the field of industrial films, later as a freelance director for children's and youth programs, such as Jan and Tini auf Reisen , for which he also wrote the screenplay.

As an actor, he is best known for his impersonation in some DEFA Indian films and period films. As a director, he mainly created films for young people and children. Sepp Klose was married to the opera singer Christa Klose.
