Siegfried (Get Smart)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the 1960s television series Get Smart KAOS agent Siegfried is Maxwell Smart's great enemy. He was portrayed by actor Bernie Kopell.

Siegfried can be identified by his German accent, the duelling scar on face, and his penchant for wearing German World War II style military uniforms. Siegfried's rank in KAOS is colonel, and he knows how to fly a plane.

Siegfried's sidekick is the idiotic Shtarker.

Seigfried is the only recurring villain to appear in the FOX revival of Get Smart in 1995

[edit] His origins

Siegfried's full name is as mysterious as the man himself. It is alternatively given as Ludwig Von Siegfried or Conrad Siegfried. He has also been known under the moniker Siegfried the Great, when he posed as a stage magician in a plot to kidnap the Chief of CONTROL.

In the made-for-TV movie Get Smart, Again, it is revealed that he has a identical twin brother, Professor Helmut Schmelling, who has an identical scar on his face, acquired when they had a duel in Heidelburg. When they meet face to face, Siegfried asks Schmelling where he came from, Schmelling's response was, "Berlin," possibly indicating Siegfried's birthplace.
