Curt Bois (born Kurt Boas; April 5, 1901 – December 25, 1991) was a German actor with a career spanning over 80 years.

Bois performed in theatre, cabaret, musicals, silent films, and "talkies" over his long acting career.

He performed under Max Reinhardt[2] and found success in 1928 in a Viennese stage production of "Charley's Aunt" at the Josefstadt Theater.

[4] In 1934, institutionalized Anti-Semitism forced the Jewish Bois to leave his home in Nazi Germany for the United States.

By 1937, he had made his way to Hollywood and began acting in films, the best-known being Casablanca (1942), in which he warns a befuddled English gentleman to be on guard against pickpockets ("vultures everywhere") while stealing the man's wallet.
