Karl Paryla (1905–1996) was an Austrian theater actor and director, and later a film maker as well.
A lifelong, dedicated communist, his career in the Austrian theater was first interrupted by the Second World War, and then strained by Cold War politics.
In the 1950s he began working in East Germany, where he performed as an actor and directed plays and films.
An actor trained in the school of Constantin Stanislavski, he is praised for the realism he brought to his performances especially in Johann Nestroy's plays and for his ability to organize large ensembles dynamically on the stage.
He is remembered also for his work ethic and his fervent belief in the emancipatory power of the theater.
