Walter Stumvoll

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walter Stumvoll , alternative spelling Walter Stummvoll (born March 4, 1904 in Eger , Austria-Hungary ; † November 11, 1982 in Vienna ), was an Austrian actor on the stage, film and television.

Live and act

Stumvoll studied theater studies in Munich and Prague from the mid-1920s. He began his stage career around 1930, but remained without a permanent engagement for many years. It was not until the 1938/39 season, when he made his film debut en passant in Czechoslovakia, that he was an ensemble member of the theater in Reichenberg (German-occupied Sudetenland). During the Second World War, Stumvoll worked at the Deutsches Theater in German-occupied Prague and also played in entertainment films in the studios there in the final phase of the war (1943/44).

After the war, Stumvoll stayed again for several years without a permanent engagement at major stages. In 1950 he was brought to the Burgtheater in Vienna and in 1960 he was a permanent member of the ensemble. In the later years of his life, Stumvoll also appeared in performances at the Bregenz Festival. Stumvoll's feature films are largely meaningless. He was often seen in the same batch of father or father roles: sometimes Walter Stumvoll embodied a doctor, sometimes a forester, then again a village landlord, a farmer or a servant, as in his last production.
