Acting
1900-03-04 · Berlin, Germany
Bruno Fritz (March 4, 1900, Berlin – June 12, 1984, Berlin) was a German cabaret performer, actor, and voice actor. Trained at the acting school of the German Theatre in Berlin, he appeared on numerous Berlin stages before co-founding the cabaret Tatzelwurm in 1935. After World War II, he became widely known as a founding member of the RIAS radio cabaret Die Insulaner, where he gained popularity as the quintessential “Berliner with heart and bite”, especially in the role of Herr Kummer. Fritz appeared mainly in supporting film roles from the 1930s onward, often portraying satirical authority figures, and remained a familiar presence on German television into the 1970s. He also worked as a dubbing artist, providing German voices for actors such as Bud Abbott, Richard Widmark, and Gino Cervi.
