  • on 0.33 he kinda looks like batman's enemy the old guy who runs that worldwide assasin guild... forgot his name... anyway was it also based on that conrad veidt's character? and can u tell me what movie that was? Thnx

  • I think that's from "The Last Performance". I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with Ras Al Ghoul.

  • he was so handsome...i remember when i first saw the cabinet of dr. caligari i was mesmerized by this statuesque beautiful man. i don't think anyone could've played the parts he did and make them likable. gwynplaine could've just been a frankstein's monster, a source for terror, but instead he was a child (with his dog) and you really felt for him. why don't we have actors like this today?

  • HE WAS HOT. but aside from that he always seemed to lend a genuine humanity to his characters that was scarcely executed effectively in the melodrama of silent movies.

  • Whether or not people know his name, to a hundred million comic book fans, Conrad Veidt lives on.

  • @Jorzn84 the joker (batman's nemesis) was based off of gwynplain from the man who laughs

  • 0:15 seconds it is very creepy. and i loved the man who laughs. great movie

  • the first picture of him as Gwynplaine is damn creepy

  • His "EYES"!!

  • A true talent! The inspiration for the Joker!

    So tragic that a fatal heart attack took him right as his star was rising in America; after 'The Thief of Baghdad', 'Casablanca' & 'Above Suspicion'.

  • none better before or since!

  • the real fear and terror ,international actors and master of expressionism ,conrad are fantastic ,this man is a legend

  • I read somewhere that such multilations to the face were common among beggers looking for a means to make people feel sorry for them or at least scare people into giving them donations.
