## Bio

Waltz spent decades working German television and theatre before Quentin Tarantino cast him as Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds in 2009, a performance that won him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actor. He reunited with Tarantino three years later in Django Unchained, playing bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz — a second Oscar in the same category. The roles that followed leaned into that precision: Ernst Stavro Blofeld across two James Bond films, plus turns in Carnage, Big Eyes, Downsizing, Alita: Battle Angel, and The French Dispatch. Born in 1956, he holds Austrian, German, and American citizenship. In 2025 he appeared in both Frankenstein and Dracula.
