Paul Panzer(1872-1958)
- Actor
- Director
Born in Germany in 1872, Paul Panzer spent several years on the stage
before entering the film industry with Edison in 1905. He later went to
Vitagraph, one of the first actors to work at that studio, but left
them in 1911. He directed one film,
The Life of Buffalo Bill (1912),
with the real Buffalo Bill (aka
Buffalo Bill Cody) released by Monopol, a small
independent company. However, he returned to acting and worked, often
uncredited, in that capacity for the next 40+ years, appearing in more
than 350 films all told. He made his last film in 1952, and died in
Hollywood in 1958.
