Born Paul H. Gulder,[2] he was the stepson of the actor and stage director Emil Rameau (actually Pulvermacher).[3]  He attended the Werner von Siemens High School in Berlin and graduated from high school in 1919. After training at the Berlin Reinhardt Seminar, Rameau played at the Neue Schauspielhaus in Königsberg in 1920 and at the Munich Kammerspiele from 1921 to 1924.

Having established himself in the German film industry, he left the country following the Nazi Party's taking of power in 1933. He spent time in several other countries, including Austria and Britain before moving to Hollywood. He returned to Europe in 1951.
