Born in Berlin, he trained at the Royal Theatre in Berlin with Max Grube and Hans Oberländer. He made his stage debut at the Central-Theatre in Berlin in the 1895/96 season and appeared on various Berlin stages in subsequent years. From 1914 he worked extensively in film, often playing fatherly figures, patriarchs and directors, as well as small-minded philistines. His credits include *Destiny* (1921), *The Haunted Castle* (1921), *The Last Laugh* (1924), *Spies* (1928), *Asphalt* (1929) and *Woman in the Moon* (1929). In 1931 he appeared as Adolph Wormser in *The Captain from Köpenick*. Following the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, Vallentin emigrated to Czechoslovakia, where he performed on German-language stages in Ústí and Prague. He later worked in Switzerland before moving to Mandatory Palestine in 1939 and settling in Tel Aviv, where he retired from acting. *Sources: en.wikipedia.org, imdb.com, de.wikipedia.org.* ## On Fi1m (1) - *The Last Laugh* (1924), Fi1m 84, as Potbellied Guest — [page](https://film.one/film/the-last-laugh.md) ## Complete filmography (85) Every credit, newest first.
