Roy Black is a Actor Allemand born on 25 january 1943
Roy Black (January 25, 1943 – October 9, 1991) was a German schlager singer and actor, who appeared in several musical comedies and starred in the 1989 TV series, Ein Schloß am Wörthersee.
Born Gerhard Höllerich in Bobingen, Bavarian Swabia, Germany, Black attended the gymnasium in Augsburg and, aged 20, founded the rock and roll band Roy Black and His Cannons. His stage name derived from his black hair and his idol, Roy Orbison.
Roy Black and His Cannons achieved some local fame and were offered a recording contract with Polydor Records. However, his record producer Hans Bertram decided on a solo career for Black, and a switch to romantic songs for his protégé, a decision which soon led to nationwide fame. In 1966, his single "Ganz in Weiß"—a romantic song about marrying in white—sold in excess of one million copies by the end of 1967. His 1969 song "Dein schönstes Geschenk", sold one million copies by May 1970, having spent nine weeks at number one in the German chart.
From 1967, Black also took on roles in several musical comedy films, for example in the 1969 movie Hilfe, ich liebe Zwillinge (Help, I Love Twins) opposite Uschi Glas.
In 1974, Black announced his engagement to model Silke Vagts (1945–2002), and the couple got married in Munich the same year. In 1976 their son Torsten was born. They divorced in 1985.
Six years later, Black died of heart failure, in Heldenstein near Mühldorf am Inn.

Ignaz Hirnbeißer vient dans l'agence de voyages Dolce Vita tenu par son propriétaire Alfonso Jäckele. M. Hirnbeißer veut des vacances seul sans sa femme, mais n'a que 800 marks. M. Jäckele lui conseille de prendre sa voiture (l'épisode Der Führerschein, Le Permis de conduire), d'aller à Vienne (Wohnung zu vermieten, Appartement à louer) ou au Mexique (Happening in Mexiko, Happening au Mexique) et lui affirme que le Salzkammergut est le paradis des pêcheurs élégants (Gedränge unterm Himmelbett, Mêlée sous le lit à baldaquins). Hirnbeißer veut bien aller où sont les "Playgirls", mais il n'a pas posé de congés. Il explique à Jackele qui est nerveux à la fin, que lui-même est également propriétaire d'une agence de voyage.
