Rudolph Schildkraut

Rudolph Schildkraut (M / Austria, United States, 1862-1930) was a Jewish actor, active in Europe and then in the United States. In 1927, American filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille asked Rudolph and his son Joseph to play the two major "distinctively Jewish" characters in his movie on the Life of Jesus, i.e., Caiaphas and Judas Iscariot, respectively. For Joseph Schildkraut this would not remain the only biblical roles of his career; he also featured Herod the Great in 1935 and Nicodemus in 1965.
