Born in Vienna, Austria, Schildkraut was the son of popular stage (and later motion picture) actor Rudolf Schildkraut. The younger Schildkraut moved to the United States in the early 1900's. He appeared in many Broadway productions. Among the plays that he starred in was a notable production of Peer Gynt. In 1921, he played the title role in the first American stage production of Ferenc Molnar's Liliom, the play that would eventually become the basis for Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel. He then began working in silent movies, although he did return to the stage occasionally. He had early success in film as the Chevalier de Vaudrey in D.W. Griffith's Orphans of the Storm with Lillian Gish. Later, he was featured in Cecil B. DeMille's epic 1927 film The King of Kings, as Judas Iscariot.
