Friedrich Joloff (1908–1988) was a German film and television actor, active in the postwar era.[1] He also worked as a voice actor, dubbing films for release in the German-speaking markets. He has been described as a "suave character actor".[2] The half-Jewish Joloff had fled Nazi Germany in 1935 and settled in Italy. After military service during the Second World War he was taken prisoner by the British in 1943 and sent to Canada. He returned to German after the end of the war. Joloff appeared as a homosexual in the 1957 film Different from You and Me directed by Veit Harlan, one of several gay actors to be cast in the production.[3]
