- Actor
First a cabaret artist in his native country (Holland), Frederick
Vogeding made a few silent films in Germany first, then back in Holland
before moving to the USA in 1920. In the States he made few films
during the silent era but was active in the theater, including on
Broadway. His real breakthrough in Hollywood was "Below the Sea"
(1933), in which he impressed the viewers in the shoes of a somber
U-boat captain. From then on, he got regular
work, most of the time as a heavy and more precisely in the last part
of his career, as a Gestapo agent or the Nazi spy in office. He died of
a stroke aged only 55 and is interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park,
Glendale, Los Angeles.
