    Is he though? Sure, he’s great in his roles, but his mannerisms and personality pretty much stay the same regardless of the role. Someone like Gary Oldman, or Ed Norton are far better actors IMO. They disappear into their roles.

      Both his most famous roles have a similar way of speaking because the roles are pretty much the same. The efficient and precise German. The genre is also the same. I’ve seen a german comedy of his where he is completely different.

              No way. It actually was filmed in English. I did not notice. Walz dubs his own stuff himself. I do faintly remember the movie taking place in France although the actual location was never mentioned I think.

                  Wait what. Ok I’m done. I’m going to delete my account I can’t recover from this. The movie seemed good tho and my point still stands. Christoph Walz does not play the German stereotype and his performance is different from his stereotypical German roles.
