Alphons Fryland was an Austrian born star of the German silent screen who made over 40 films between 1919 and 1933. He was quite popular at his height. In 1932 he joined the NSDAP but it helped his career little. He claimed to have been discriminated against by the Jewish producer Alfred Zeisler. Eventually he returned to Graz and worked as a clerk in the Gau office.
