Born in 8 June 1918 with name Gunther Placheta in Romania he grew up in Vienna.
During his school time he was an olympic level swimmer! He was nominated for
olympic games in 1936 but excluded because of his anti-nazistic attitude. Later
he swam several records 0,4 seconds from world records.
When he studied medicine in Vienna in 1940 he also studied acting. In summer
1948 he founded the four-head cabaret group "The little 4" after
beginning his specialization in Neurology in 1946.
Around his Germany tournee in 1949 he finished his medical activity and became
fully professional actor.
Just besides he went on car races and in the sixties he becams Austrian champion
for several times before he retired in this sport and moderated a motor sport
magazine in TV.
