Victor Beaumont


Victor Beaumont was a German-born British film and television actor.
As Peter Wolff, he appeared in a number of German films and at least one play. After immigrating to the United Kingdom in the 1930s, he appeared in British films and television dramas from the 1940s and Hollywood films from the 1960s. He is perhaps best known for his portrayals of Nazi German characters in films such as Where Eagles Dare in which he played Colonel Weissner, Carve Her Name with Pride, The Guns of Navarone, The Heroes of Telemark and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory in the uncredited role of the psychologist.
His television appearances included two episodes of The Saint and a cameo appearance in the opening episode, 'Departure and Arrival', as Dr. Hauser in the short-lived, six-episode BBC sci-fi drama series Moonbase 3.
Beaumont died on 21 March 1977, aged 64.
