Siegfried Breuer jr. (1930-2004) was an Austrian film actor. He often played jeune premiers in German films of the 1950s and early 1960s.

 

Siegfried Breuer jr. (a.k.a. Walter Breuer) was born in Vienna in 1930. Breuer, who was trained at the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna, worked as a film actor since 1952. In contrast to his father Siegfried, who often embodied the icy seducer, he was primarily cast as a jeune premier (the youthful lover). He was seen in Die Deutschmeister/The German champion (Ernst Marischka, 1955) on the side of the young Romy Schneider. Among his other films of the 1950s were Polikuschka (Carmine Gallone, 1958) with Folco Lulli, and the war film Kapetan Lesi (Zivorad 'Zika' Mitrovic, 1960). By his own assessment with a ‘tinny voice’ and a broadcast feature, which was anything but gracious, he could not establish himselve in this role subject. In 1966, he played one of his last film roles in In Frankfurt sind die Nächte heiß/In Frankfurt, the nights are hot (Rolf Olsen, 1966) with Vera Tschechowa. After his film career, he worked at the Bayerischer Rundfunk as a production assistant. His sons Jacques and Pascal have also become an actor.
