Hans Moser died in Vienna in 1964, aged 83. His continuing popularity is attested to by the fact that his style of speaking is still being parodied, often by very young entertainers.

Hans Moser could very rarely gleam in his late movies. The movie "Ober, zahlen!" (1957) and above all "Herrn Josefs letzte Liebe" (1959) presented him again in his earlier top form.

Hans Moser continued his career in Austria after the War, where he played at the theater for the time being. Also the film business was still interested in Hans Moser and he got roles in "Der Herr Kanzleirat (1948), "Hallo, Dienstmann" (1951) and "Der Onkel aus Amerika" (1952).

He was an actor, known for Sieben Jahre Pech (1940), Schwarz auf Weiß (1943) and Symphonie in Gold (1956). He was married to Blanca Moser.

In the 30's he didn't play as much for the theater, from 1939 he stand aside of the theater for his film career's benefit.

During the Nazi occupation of Austria between 1938 and 1945, he had many problems refusing to separate from his Jewish wife Blanca, who fled to Hungary. After the war, the couple lived together again.

Only in 1933 the tide has turned to his favor when Willi Forst realized first so-called "Vienna movies". In movies like "Leise flehen meine Lieder" (1933) and "Maskerade" (1934) they accepted Moser's mumble and nervous movements, the audience get used to seeing it so to speak and people came even to a love with this peculiarity.

His later silent movies "Die Familie ohne Moral" (1927) and "Spitzenhöschen und Schusterpech" (1928) weren't crowned with success. The beginning of his sound film era started resinous too. Normally he played minor parts beside established Berliner comedians.

After appearances in variety, circus and provincial theatre, he was 'discovered' for leading roles on the legitimate stage by Max Reinhardt in 1925.

In 1897 Hans Moser got his first theater engagement and played smaller parts on different stages in the next years. Because of his height he often impersonated children too.

Hans Moser was born on August 6, 1880 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary as Johann Julier.
