1862 - 1921 |
.
. The actor Richard Georg was born as Georg Joseph in Goglau. He began his professional career as a clerk but his wish to become an actor was bigger than to remain in a secure job. He made his stage debut at the Sommertheater in Liegnitz in 1885 and in the next years followed numerous engagements in other smaller cities before he came to Berlin where he appeared among others at the Residenztheater. Tours led him through whole Germany and finally to the USA where he acted in many states. After his return to Germany Richard Georg became an established stage actor in Berlin where he remained active for many years. Richard Georg already acted in front of the camera for the first time when the film was still at the beginning. His first movie was "Ein hoffnungsvolles Früchtchen/Messenger Boy" (09). In the 10s he appeared regular in movies. To these works belong "Grossvaters Ehrentag" (12), "Leo als Aushilfskellner" (13), "Papa Schlaumeyer" (15), "Mein Leopold" (16), "Die fremde Frau" (19), "Der Mitternachtsprofessor" (19), "Ubo Thomsens Heimkehr" (19), "Der Bastard" (19) and "Alfreds Techtelmechtel" (19). He took part again in numerous silent movies at the beginning of the 20s. To these productions belong "Der Mann in der Falle" (20), "Das Gefängnis auf dem Meeresgrund" (20), "Der langsame Tod" (20), "Mont Carlo" (21), "Aus den Tiefen der Grossstadt" (21), "Der lebende Propeller" (21), "Aus den Memoiren einer Filmschauspielerin" (21), "Das Gasthaus von Chicago (21) and "Die Bestien im alten Rom" (23).
