Wolfgang Klein (actor, 1908)
Wolfgang Klein (born August 28, 1908 in Mannheim ; † May 15, 1944 in Focşani , Romania ) was a German actor in the stage and film industry.
Live and act
Klein first appeared as a film actor; regular permanent engagements at the theater can only be established in the late 1930s. Until shortly before the end of his short life he worked at Berlin's Schiffbauerdammtheater, the Renaissance theater and, in the last season of 1943/44, at a soldiers' stage. During this time, Klein died during a troop support tour in (then still) war-allied Romania.
Wolfgang Klein stood in front of the camera for the first time in the late silent film era. At first he embodied dashing junior officers, students and fellow types. He appeared in both historical fabrics and lightweight fabrics. Most of the roles were the size of noble batches, his last appearance in the ambitious Friedemann Bach film was only a matter of seconds. The cause of Klein's untimely demise at the age of 35 in distant Romania is currently unknown.
