biography
Heavy-set character player of international films, best remembered as the greedy "Goldfinger" (1964), one of the best-recalled James Bond movies of Sean Connery. Although in international films nearly from the outset of his career, Gert Frobe made his first foray into an "American" film in 1962, playing the German Sgt. Kaffeeklatsch in "The Longest Day," the epic on the Normandy invasion. He was the sympathetic Nazi commander of the French capitol who will not destroy the paintings in "Is Paris Burning" (1966), the parody of a Prussian who would rather everyone die then lose the race himself
