Adolphe Engers (1884â€"1945) was a Dutch writer and actor on stage and
in the movies, who appeared in more than fifty films during his
career, a number of them in Weimar Germany.Before his career in film,
he was an actor on the stage and a writer. In 1920 he published
Peccavi...???, a then-scandalous novel with a gay protagonist,
co-written with fellow actor Ernst Winar. A performer of considerable
talent, he was to be honored for his achievements on the stage in the
1930s by an honorary committee that included Simon Carmiggelt, who
related that, when the committee members understood that Engers
himself was gay, withdrew from the committee one after the other.Other
works were a screenplay about the closing of the Zuiderzee, which
created the artificial lake IJsselmeer, in which he was to act as well
(only promotional footage for the project seems to remain), and a play
about Oscar Wilde, published in 1917, whose main themes are norms and
deviancy; "deviancy" in Engers' play includes art and beauty, which
are crushed by the normality of everyday society.He appeared in the
1922 German-Dutch co-production The Man in the Background. Adolphe Engers Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
