Wladimir Sokoloff - as his name let suppose - was born in Russia. He
grew up at a German family and learnt there the German language. After
the school he went back to Moscow and attended the theater school.
He played from 1913 on different stages and became a very busy actor.
When he gave a guest performance in Berlin in 1923 he got offers for
German stages. Finally he signed at Max Reinhardt - the road to film was
only a stone's throw from here.
In the film he made is debut in "Die Abenteuer eines Zehnmarkscheines/K.
13513" (26) as Oscar Homolka. Wladimir Sokoloff
was the ideal cast for easily remembered supporting roles. He demonstrated
his skill in "Die Liebe der Jeanne Ney" (27), "Katharina Knie" (29) and
"Die Herrin von Atlantis" (32).
In 1933 he emigrated to France and took part in the movies "Don Quichotte
(33), "Napoléon Bonaparte" (34) and "Mayerling" (36).
In 1937 he ended up in the USA where he played supporting roles full
of characters in movie classics as "The Life of Emile Zola" (37), "Conquest/maria
Walewska" (37), "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (43), "The Magnificent Seven"
(60) and "Taras Bulba" (62).
