From his debut in a Viennese production in 1912 to 1923 he acted in over twenty silent films. During this time he was friends with the communist author and director Gustav von Wangenheim and was a member of his acting troupe. From around 1930 he worked for the communist "Red Block" in Berlin. For political reasons he later emigrated to Tel Aviv , where he became a co-owner of the large lamp shop "Goldschmidt und Schwabe". He also partially financed the magazine "Orient". In Tel Aviv he was known as a "brilliant reciter" who also recited Bertolt Brecht's poems "with fire and enthusiasm".
