Robert Freitag was an Austrian-Swiss actor and film director who also worked on stage. Born in Vienna, he studied at that city's Max Reinhardt Seminar and then moved to Switzerland, where he acted at the Schauspielhaus Zürich. In 1949 he started performing at the Salzburg Festival, and he later performed at Hamburg's Deutsches Schauspielhaus and at the Hamburger Kammerspiele. He was a founder of the Zürcher Schauspieltruppe in Zurich in 1956, also handling part-time administrative duties; the company toured German-speaking countries and the United States.
