The actor Hans Carl Müller began his stage career in the 10s where he first appeared on smaller stages before he was engaged for the Kammerspielen in Munich in 1917.
It soon followed engagements in other big cities like Berlin where he also acted at cabarets, Cologne and Hamburg. There he also realised his first stage plays as a director.
His tours led him even till to South America where he appeared in Argentina.

Hans Carl Müller entered the film business in 1919 and his first movie was "König Nicolo" (19). To his co-stars belonged Max Adalbert, Henry Bender, Paul Biensfeldt, Julius Falkenstein and Ernst Stahl-Nachbaur.

The height of his film career followed in the 20s where he was able to impersonate some appreciative roles.
