Films
He can be seen as an actor in several movies.
He appears briefly with his father, the actor Fritz Leiber, Sr. in two films: the wedding-feast scene of Garbo's film Camille (1936) and in Warner Bros.' The Great Garrick (1937).
He appears in the film noir classic The Web (1947), where he played the role of the counterfeiter, Leopold Kroner. (He has one brief scene at the movie's beginning, and a second, even briefer scene further in, in which his character is shot dead.)
In the cult horror film Equinox (1970), he has a cameo appearance as the geologist Dr Watermann. In the edited second version of the movie Leiber has no spoken dialogue in the film but features in a few scenes. The original version of the movie has a longer appearance by Leiber recounting the ancient book and a brief speaking role, all of which was cut from the re-release of the film.
He also appears in the 1979 Schick Sunn Classics documentary The Bermuda Triangle, based on the book by Charles Berlitz, as Chavez. Director: Richard Friedenberg; Writers: Stephen Lord; Stars: Brad Crandall, Donald Albee and Lin Berlitz.
Surprisingly, Leiber's acting talents were not utilised for any of the movie versions of his novel Conjure Wife or for other screen adaptations of his work. (see Screen Adaptations below).
