Heinz Engelmann(1911-1996)
- Actor
- Additional Crew
- Production Manager
Born in 1911, young Heinz Engelmann first joined the Physical Education
Institute before turning to drama studies. No wonder that he found many
roles requiring sportsmanship in the fist years of his career. On the
other hand, he was also often cast as a soldier or an officer. After a
six year interruption due to the war, Heinz Engelmann resumed his
activities on the big screen but soon became a TV regular. He is
remembered particularly for his participation to several series such as
Förster Horn (1966) (in the
title role),
Drei Frauen im Haus (1968),
with Magda Schneider and
Junger Herr auf altem Hof (1969).
He also made more and more dubbing (he was the German voice of stars
like John Wayne,
Stewart Granger,
Rock Hudson,
William Holden, etc.), wrote the
German text of American movies and series and supervised their
post-synchronization. One of the last times Heinz Engelmann appeared in
the flesh was in Barbet Schroeder's
classic about drugs More (1969). He died in
1996, aged 85.
