Anton Diffring

Anton Diffring

Anton Diffring (October 20, 1918 in Koblenz, Germany – May 20, 1989 in France) was a German actor who made a film career in Britain after 1950. He was best known in the English-speaking world for his portrayal of German officers, and mainly similarly sinister roles, in films such as "Where Eagles Dare" (1968) and "The Heroes of Telemark" (1965). He also starred in the film "Operation Daybreak" as the SS officer Reinhard Heydrich. He starred in the horror films "The Man Who Could Cheat Death" and "Circus of Horrors". He also worked in quite a number of international films, such as "Fahrenheit 451" directed by François Truffaut. His final performance was again as a Nazi character, for the BBC in the 1988 Doctor Who serial Silver Nemesis, in which he agreed to appear because the recording coincided with the Wimbledon Championships which he wanted to watch.
