Paul Konrad Müller (11 March 1923 – 2 September 2016) was a Swiss actor who appeared mostly in
Italian films. His motion picture acting career in Europe spanned a period of 51 years.
Acting career
Theatre
In 1941/1942 he studied acting at the "Conservatoire National Supérieur d`Art Dramatique" in Paris. Until 1944 he had different engagements at
theatres in Paris, e. g. "Theatre Pigalle", "Salle Pleyel", "Theatre des Ambassadeurs".
From 1944 to 1946 he was called up for military service in the
French Army in
Indochina shortly before the
First Indochina War took place there. He caught
malaria during that time and, in consequence of the disease, was left hard of hearing.
From 1947 to 1948 he had different engagements at theatres and touring companies not only in France, but also in the French part of
Allied-occupied Germany and in
Florence, e. g. "Tournée Spectacles Moyses",
Teatro della Pergola. He acted, inter alia, under the direction of
Georges Douking. His first film role came at age 25 in Ruy Blas (1948).
In 2009 the German film
production company Anolis published a Collector's Edition of Mario Bava's and Ricardo Freda's masterpiece I Vampiri (Der Vampir von Notre-Dame) on a 2-DVD-Set. That item includes, inter alia, three different versions of the first Italian
horror movie of the sound era and an exclusive interview with actor Paul Müller about his career ("C'est la Vie – Paul Muller erzählt"). It is the only on-screen interview appearance of him in existence. The
DVD is especially dedicated to Muller and his remarkable work within the European film industry.
