Walter Niklaus

Another GDR actor of great longevity is Walter Niklaus, who presented the 1966 short documentary 'RBI - Radio Berlin International'. He was born in Cologne in 1925. He starred in lots of movies and TV series. His last recorded work was 'Sherlock Holmes spricht deutsch. Ein Interview mit Walter Niklaus' in 2007.

He played a huge range of characters, but was best know as CIA agent Wilson in 'Das Unsichtbare Visier' TV spy series in the 70s. In the 60s he was director of the radio drama department for GDR radio based in Leipzig.

Maybe he will make it to over 100 years too!
