He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, intending to become a painter. After moving into the German film industry following the First World War, Stuart played a number of prominent supporting roles in productions such as Joyless Street (1925).[1] Stuart's film career largely ended with the arrival of sound, and he worked increasingly on the stage.
