The character of Count Orlok was based off Count Dracula. Schreck received his training in acting and theater from the State Theatre of Berlin. Growing up Schreck's mother supported his love for the theater but his father was not as supportive. After the death of his father is when Schreck started attending theater school. Schreck started his acting career in a tv show titled Trommeln in der Nacht. After three years of this, he got his first job acting in a film and then got the role of Count Orlok in Nosferatu. He went on to make another movie for the director of Nosferatu, this time acting a comedy film. Schreck acted for a couple more years after this before dying from heart failure at the age of 56.
