Hans Moser (6 August 1880 â€" 19 June 1964) was an Austrian actor who,
during his long career, from the 1920s up to his death, mainly played
in comedy films. He was particularly associated with the genre of the
Wiener Film. Moser appeared in over 150 films.Born Johann Julier in
Vienna, Moser very often portrayed the man in the street, typically
someone else's subordinate â€" servant, waiter, porter, shopkeeper,
coachman, petty bureaucrat, etc. Also always he played honest, moral
and well-intentioned people who, unable to keep cool and think clearly
in crucial situations, get themselves and everyone around them into
all kinds of trouble. As the father of a beautiful daughter â€" often
widowed â€" he was the stubborn one who realizes only at the end of
the movie, when all cases of mistaken identity have been cleared up
and all secrets are revealed, that he has been terribly wrong all the
time.Moser was particularly known for mumbling indistinctly for comic
effect rather than pronouncing words and sentences clearly, and also
for failing to finish his sentences â€" which, combined with his
moderate Viennese dialect, made it hard for non-native speakers of
Austrian German to understand what he was saying.
