Character actor of German silent films, on stage from 1905. Gave some of his best performances under the direction of F. W. Murnau. Because of his Jewish background, the Nazis excluded him from the Reichstheaterkammer in 1938 and had him incarcerated in the Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1942. Fürth survived the ordeal but died shortly after the end of the war in Vienna.
