Prolific small-part character player of the 1930's and 40's, long on the Berlin stage. In films, usually played affable 'everyman' roles, including hairdressers, prison guards, doctors or small-time crooks. Towards the end of his career, he did some dubbing on Disney films, notably providing the German voice for the March Hare in "Alice in Wonderland" (1951). Biegel's mentally disturbed wife committed suicide a month before his own death.
