Trivia

The Teutonic actor began acting in German films billed as Rudolph Amendt and continued to use his real name after moving to Hollywood in the early 1930s. In 1938 he changed his moniker to Robert O. Davis, for obvious reasons, and used it throughout WWII playing a series of Nazi spies and officers. He changed his name once again to Rudolph Anders in post-war years.

In the 1950s he was able to escape playing German officers for a time and focused on playing foreign-accented diplomats, scientists and doctors. His very last acting appearance, however, was, true to form, as a Nazi officer on a TV episode of "Garrisons Gorillas" in 1968. He then retired.
