Biography
Henry Rowland was an American actor whose fluency in German led him to play Nazi soldiers and officers in World War II films, often alongside German and Austrian expatriates. Born in Omaha to German parents and partly raised in Bonn, he finished his secondary schooling in Germany after World War I and later studied in Pasadena, California. During the war he appeared as an American flight surgeon in Winged Victory (1944), billed under his Army rank. Afterward he spent decades in character roles, with more than 200 film and television credits, including Russ Meyer's Supervixens and his role as an Amish farmer in The Frisco Kid (1979). He made six appearances on the western series Annie Oakley and also worked in Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, Zorro, The Lone Ranger, Fury, Brave Eagle and Tales of Wells Fargo. He had a Hollywood Walk of Fame star for his contribution to television, and he died in 1984.
