Biography
I am a tall man, 6 feet and 1 1/4, and I am born in 1913, that's all.
I am a tall man, 6 feet and 1 1/4, and I am born in 1913, that's all.
I am a big man, and I have a laugh to match my size. The ridiculous thing is that since I played "Goldfinger" in the James Bond film (Goldfinger (1964)) there are some people who still insist on seeing me as a cold, ruthless villain - a man without laughs.

Gert Fröbe
Tall, portly built German born actor (and talented violinist) who notched up over 100 film appearances, predominantly in German-language productions. He will forever be remembered by Western audiences as the bombastic megalomaniac "Auric Goldfinger" trying to kill Sean Connery and irradiate the vast US gold reserves within Fort Knox in the spectacular "James Bond" film Goldfinger (1964). However, due to Fröbe's thick German accent, his voice was actually dubbed by English actor, Michael Collins.Whilst commonly perceived as cold hearted & humourless from his Goldfinger (1964) portrayal, quite to the contrary, Fröbe was a jovial man and a wonderful comedic performer. His light hearted talents can be best viewed in Berliner Ballade (1948), Der Tag vor der Hochzeit (1952), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), and Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines or How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 hours 11 minutes (1965). Fröbe also portrayed dogged detective Kriminalkommissar Kras/Lohmann pursuing the evil Dr. Mabuse in Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse (1960), Im Stahlnetz des Dr. Mabuse (1961) and Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse (1962).
