Biography
Henri Peters-Arnolds was a Dutch figure active in the early film industry. Born on June 12, 1897 in Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands, Peters-Arnolds appeared in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) in an uncredited role as Young Doctor. The film, a landmark German Expressionist work, remains one of the most studied silent-era productions, known for its stylized visuals and psychological themes.
Little is recorded about Peters-Arnolds beyond this single credited appearance. The role in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari suggests involvement in the silent cinema of the period, a time when performers often took small parts in productions that shaped cinematic language. No further film credits or personal details have been verified, leaving the scope of Peters-Arnolds' career largely undocumented.
