German born Paul Weigel was an actor in American movies. He is perhaps best remembered for his performances in For Heaven's Sake (1926), The Invisible Ray (1936), and The Great Dictator (1940).

Lessons in Hope: My Unexpected Life with St. John Paul II isn’t a book George Weigel ever expected to write. But Weigel is also “someone who never expected to become a papal biographer,” either.
