Boguslaw Samborski, the German film as Gottlieb Sambor active ( born April 14, 1897 in Warsaw, Russia, now Poland, † 1971 in Argentina) was a Polish actor.
Life and work
Samborski had taken an unspectacular running theater career after the re-emergence of Poland as a result of the First World War in his home town of Warsaw. Since the beginning of the 20s and tasks were added to the film. He embodied police officers, bank tellers, professors, surgeons and directors in films almost never made it abroad. This was mostly to supporting supporting roles, rarely to leading roles as in 1929, the eponymous hero in the late silent film Policmajster Tagiejew.
As a result of the occupation of Poland in the autumn of 1939 by the German Wehrmacht interrupted his film - like theater career as the all Polish artists initially abruptly collapses. Unlike the majority of his colleagues, however, Samborski decided to collaborate with the occupying power - is conjectured as the reason the fact that Samborskis wife was Jewish and he wanted to protect them with the co-operation. Then Samborski received sporadic roles in German film productions offered. He took over in the inflammatory film Homecoming 1941 under his real name nor the small role of a mayor, so he looked in his two subsequent rich German productions - now Germanized Gottlieb Sambor - with much larger roles with: In the lumberjack and sawmill environment gambling Love and novel of manners from the Bohemian Forest, At World's End, from the hand of Homecoming director Gustav Ucicky he took the supporting role of Stefan Grabowski just behind the two main actors Brigitte Horney and Attila Hörbiger. Shortly before the war, in January 1945, Sambor was summoned to Prague to embody there with the painter and counterfeiter Count Gorchakov in the unfinished thriller Shiva and the gallows flower the opponent by Hans Albers.
1946 Samborski was ejected in his native Poland from the local actors shaft and sentenced in absentia to life in prison for collaborating with the enemy. He then fled (possibly 1948) to South America and eventually settled in Argentina, where he died in 1971.
