Max Schreck
1 credit on HibingeTV
German actor best remembered for his role as Count Orlok in Nosferatu (1922). His gaunt appearance and unsettling performance led to decades of rumors that he was a real vampire or that he was so dedicated to method acting that he lived in character. The 2000 film Shadow of the Vampire turned the rumor into a movie, with Willem Dafoe playing Schreck as an actual vampire. In reality, Schreck was a working stage and screen actor in Weimar-era Berlin. He died in 1936.
