Siegfried Seibt was born on August 19, 1920 in Görlitz, Germany. Before World War II he worked as a stage designer and painter in Bautzen and Reichenberg. After the war he became and actor in several German theater groups. In 1956 he moved to Berlin and joined the Volksbühne Berlin and at the Berliner Ensemble from 1961 – 1969. Seibt' impish looking face made him perfect for comedy, children and family films with DEFA, among them his only Euro-western Dean Reed's 1981 “Sing, Cowboy, Sing” as the sheriff. He also was active as a German voice dubber especially for British actor Charles Hawtrey. Siegfried never married and died of lung cancer on January 6, 1982 in Pankow, East Berlin Germany. Today we celebrate what would have been Siegfried Seibt's 90th birthday.
