The Silver Bear for Best Actor (German: Silberner Bär/Bester Darsteller) was an award presented at the Berlin International Film Festival. It is given to an actor who has delivered an outstanding performance and chosen by the jury from the films in official competition slate at the festival. As of the 2020 festival, Elio Germano is the most recent winner in this category for his work on Hidden Away.
History[]
The award was first presented in 1956, and can be for lead or supporting roles. The prize was not awarded in 1969, 1973 and 1974. Additionally, in 1970 no awards were given as the festival was called off mid-way due to the controversy with official selection film o.k. by Michael Verhoeven which led to resignation of the international jury. The entire male cast of A Separation was the recipient of the award in 2011. Sidney Poitier, Jean Gabin, Fernando Fernán Gómez, and Denzel Washington has won the most awards in this category, each winning twice. The last of this award was given out in 2020, after which it was replaced with a gender-neutral Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance and Silver Bear for Best Supporting Performance the following year.
