Encyclopedic overview

Mario Adorf ( German: [ˈmaː.ʁio ˈaː.dɔʁf] ; 8 September 1930 – 8 April 2026) was a German actor, considered to be one of the great veteran character actors of European cinema. In his native country, he was one of the leading film and television stars for decades, winning two German Film Awards for acting and an Honorary Award for Outstanding Contributions to German Cinema.

From 1954 to 2023, he appeared in both leading and supporting roles in over 200 film and television productions, ranging from euro westerns and crime thrillers to the 1979 Oscar-winning film The Tin Drum. Adorf worked with noted directors such as Volker Schlöndorff, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Billy Wilder, Robert Siodmak, Sam Peckinpah, Sergio Corbucci, and Claude Chabrol. He was the author of several successful, mostly autobiographical books.
