Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. Rudiger Vogler (1942 - ) Biography from Baseline Occupation: Actor Born: May 4, 1942, Warthausen, Germany Education: Actor's Academy A key figure in the stock company of gifted actors who came to prominence in the dynamic movement known as New German Cinema in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, Vogler is best known as a cinematic alter ego of filmmaker Wim Wenders. A slender man with wavy, dirty-blond hair, a long face and a somewhat glum expression, Vogler attended music school in Heidelberg but began as a film actor the year after his graduation. His second film credit, a small role in THE GOALIE'S ANXIETY AT THE PENALTY KICK (1971), marked his first collaboration with Wenders, and several years later Vogler was playing leads for the director. In ALICIA EN LAS CIUDADES (1974), Vogler first personified the footloose Philip Winter, a role—or at least, a character name—he would essay for several other Wenders films over the next two decades. After wandering with Alice, the little girl of the title in one Wenders road movie, Vogler essayed another journey for the director in WRONG MOVE (1975) as a man stymied in his roles as both poet and lover. He followed up with Wenders' masterful, leisurely and somewhat more comic KINGS OF THE ROAD (1976), in which two men amble through Germany encountering a barren cinema culture. Vogler made such an impact in this trilogy that later filmmakers tended to capitalize on either the adventurous wanderer image (e.g. THE LEFT-HANDED WOMAN, 1978) or else the moody, thoughtful side to his persona (e.g. LAST LOVE, 1979), without quite combining the two as successfully as Wenders. Some filmmakers deliberately used Vogler for his iconic value, as a stand-in of sorts for Wenders' political viewpoints; Margarethe von Trotta's important MARIANNE AND JULIANNE/THE GERMAN SISTERS is an intriguing example of the latter. During the 80s Vogler, whose earlier credits had been mostly West German, increasingly expanded his work into many different European cinemas, with roles in French and Italian films. He worked primarily in crime drama, with a smattering of credits in historical recreations; in DER HAVARIST/VOYAGER, for example, he was one of three actors playing Hollywood star Sterling Hayden as he recounts his travails. In the 90s, Vogler reteamed Wenders, conjuring up Philip Winter in the international sci-fi road picture, HASTA EL FIN DEL MUNDO (1991), the post-Cold War Berlin-set fantasy TAN LEJOS Y TAN CERCA (1993), and the noirish LISBON STORY (1995). 1970 CHRONIK DER LAUFENDEN EREIGNISSE performer 1971 THE GOALIE'S ANXIETY AT THE PENALTY KICK/DIE ANGST DES TORMANNS BEIM ELFMETER performer 1972 AGENTU AUS DER RETORTE performer 1973 DIE GRAFIN VON RATHENOW performer 1973 THE SCARLET LETTER/DER SCHARLACHROTE BUCHSTABE performer 1975 WRONG MOVE/FALSCHE BEWEGUNG performer 1976 KINGS OF THE ROAD/IM LAUF DER ZEIT performer 1977 DIE LINKSHÄNDIGE FRAU performer 1977 ESCAPE ROUTE TO MARSEILLES/FLUCHTWEG NACH MARSEILLES performer 1977 GROUP PORTRAIT WITH LADY/GRUPPENBILD MIT DAME performer 1977 HAUPTMANN KREUTZER performer 1977 THE SAVAGE STATE/L'ETAT SAUVAGE performer 1978 DIE GRUNE SEITE performer 1978 THE LEFT-HANDED WOMAN/DIE LINKSHÄNDIGE FRAU performer 1979 ALZIRE ODER DER NEUE KONTINENT/ALZIRE OR THE NEW CONTINENT performer 1979 GESCHE GOTTFRIED performer 1979 LETZE LIEBE/LAST LOVE performer 1979 TYPISCH EDDIE performer 1980 BEATE UND MAREILE performer 1981 L'HOPITAL DE LENINGRAD performer 1981 LOGIK DES GEFUHLS performer 1983 GNADENLOS performer 1983 MELZER performer 1984 A CASE OF IRRESPONSIBILITY/UN CASO DI INCOSCIENZA performer 1984 MAN WITHOUT MEMORY/MANN OHNE GEDACHTNIS performer 1984 MARTHA DUBRONSKI performer 1984 VOYAGER performer 1985 FRATELLI/BROTHERS performer 1986 TAROT performer 1987 LUCKY RAVI performer 1987 MADRID performer 1989 STREETS OF YESTERDAY performer 1990 CORSA DI DISCESA performer 1990 ERDENSCHWER performer 1990 TRANSIT performer 1994 THE SORROW OF BELGIUM performer 1995 LISBON STORY performer
