Biography

Egon Hoegen was born on September 28, 1928 in Düsseldorf, Germany. He was an actor, known for Starship Troopers (1997), Express (1968) and Journal 1870/71 - Täglicher Telegraph (1970). He was married to Dorotea. He died on June 1, 2018 in Germany.

"Der 7. Sinn", for which he is best remembered was a road safety series aimed at drivers. It was launched in 1966: around 1,500 editions were screened over nearly forty years.

Egon Hoegen was a German actor and off-camera voice artist.

In 1954 Hoegen took a major part in Charley's Aunt alongside the siblings Willy and Lucy Millowitsch. The production, at the Millowitsch Theatre in Cologne, was an early example of a stage production shown on German television.

Trained by Gustaf Gründgens (and others) at the Bonn Theater School, by 1951 he was well on the way to establishing himself as a stage actor.

The gift of an unusually resonant voice, as he later recalled, was spotted while he was still at school.
