Connection
Friedrich Anton Maria Hubertus Bonifacius Graf von Ledebur-Wicheln is a Actor Autrichien born on 3 june 1900 at Nisko (Pologne)
Friedrich Anton Maria Hubertus Bonifacius Graf von Ledebur-Wicheln ((1900-06-03)June 3, 1900 - December 25, 1986(1986-12-25)) was an actor who was known for Moby Dick (1956), Alexander the Great (1955) and Slaughterhouse-Five (1972).
Ledebur was born in Austria-Hungary (later Poland) in 1900. Friedrich enlisted in the Austro-Hungarian Imperial Army in 1916 and was an officer in the Austrian Cavalry Division during the last years of World War I.
In 1945, von Ledebur made his film debut. He later appeared in Alexander the Great (1955), and played chief harpooneer Queequeg, a South Sea chieftan, in the film Moby Dick (1956). "Better a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian," Herman Melville's Ishmael famously says of Queequeg in the book and the film.
À la télévision, il figure dans quelques séries et téléfilms, tant aux États-Unis qu'en Europe. En France, il est plus particulièrement connu pour avoir incarné Erik XIV, roi de Kurlande, dans le feuilleton La Demoiselle d'Avignon (1972).
Son prénom, très diversement orthographié, n'est pas toujours suivi de la particule "von" aux génériques de ses films (où il est, en outre, souvent non crédité).
