5Paul Henreid (born [[OverlyLongName Paul Georg Julius Freiherr von Hernried Ritter von Wasel-Waldingau]]; January 10, 1908 – March 29, 1992) was an Austrian-British-American actor, director, producer, and writer. He is best remembered for his iconic roles in two 1942 films: Jerry Durrance in ''Film/NowVoyager'' and Victor Laszlo in ''Film/{{Casablanca}}''.

7Henreid, the son of an aristocratic [[UsefulNotes/{{Vienna}} Viennese]] banker, trained for the theatre in Vienna and made his stage debut under director Max Reinhardt. He left Austria in 1935 and appeared in such British films as ''Film/GoodbyeMrChips'' (1939) and ''Film/NightTrainToMunich'' (1940) before moving to the United States.

9Henreid's acting career suffered from Hollywood [[UsefulNotes/TheHollywoodBlacklist blacklisting]] him when he protested against the House Committee on Un-American Activities in the 1950s. He subsequently began a second career as a director, particularly for television. He died of pneumonia in 1992, just days before ''Casablanca'' was re-released in honor of its 50th anniversary.
