German actor Bruno Thost died in Vienn, Austria on August
28, 2019. He was 83. After graduation,
he began his studies in Stuttgart, as mechanical and aircraft engineer, but he
stopped off in favor of studying acting, after he had already worked at the
Württemberg State Theater as porter, super, stage manager, chorus in the extra
chorus and voice roll. In 1963 he passed his final exams and played his first
role as Will Parker 1964 on the open-air stage in Wiesmoor near Cuxhaven. Since
then he played many roles Karl May . In Wiesmoor he also had the direction in
1965, in Bad Segeberg he supported the now dedicated director Toni
Graschberger in his work and worked with him passages of the textbooks to
Winnetou (1971) and In the Gorges of the Balkans(1972 ).
From 1970 until his retirement in 2001, he was a member
of the permanent ensemble at the Vienna Burgtheater. In Seelbach
(Ortenaukreis), where he grew up in part, Bruno Thost and his daughter Katja
Thost-Hauser encouraged the open-air games that took place there for the first
time in 2004. Both father and daughter took over both direction and roles. In
the summer of 2017, Bruno Thost undertook an unusual return to Karl May: in the
three performances marking the 30th anniversary of the Karl May stage Gföhl ,
he once again assumed the role of Santer.
