Walter Müller (born May 6, 1911 in Prague , † March 2, 1969 in Starnberg ) was an Austrian actor and singer.
Life
The son of Anton and Theresia Müller grew up in Vienna and began his artistic career in 1927 as a choir singer at the Landestheater Linz . He then worked in Bodenbach as a choir student and in Bad Hall for the first time as an actor.
Müller received further engagements in Reichenberg , Brno , Iglau and Karlsbad . In Moravian-Ostrau he was employed as a buffo and operetta tenor. In 1938 he came to the Vienna Volksoper as 2nd bass , where he sang in operettas such as Frau Luna and Der Graf von Luxemburg . In 1939 he moved to the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm in Berlin, and from 1940 until the theater was closed in 1944 he was the leading actor in many revues and operettas at the Metropol Theater . After the war he played at the Vienna Citizens' Theater , where he occasionally directed.
From 1938 he also worked extensively for radio. Müller was seen in the cinema from 1940 and was soon committed to the always funny, singing sun boy. As a friend or competitor of the real hero, he became a popular and widely used film actor in the first half of the 1950s. He often played the funny lover type.
At the beginning of the 1960s, his film career came to an end. He acted again primarily in operetta roles at the theater and celebrated his last success in 1966 in a performance of Mask in Blue at the Theater des Westens at the side of Marika Rökk .
