MINI BIO:
Truculent, crop-haired, German-born actor often seen as eccentric professors, idiot saboteurs, and moronic megalomaniacs. He never lost the thick continental accent that was part of his splutteringly excitable personality and helped him make a brilliant and explosive foil for comedians with wild senses of humor, notably The Marx Brothers, Jack Benny, and Jerry Lewis. His pop eyes and manic smile were never seen to better advantage than as "Concentration Camp" Erhardt in To Be or Not to Be. Surname sometimes spelled Rumann. Died from a heart attack.

Sgt. Schulz: [amused] You Americans are so *crazy*! That's why I like you!
