Birthday: Oct 04, 1956
Birthplace: Vienna, Austria
A true late bloomer in Hollywood, Christoph Waltz was one of many actors whose genius was overlooked for decades until someone was willing to take a chance on his talent. Quentin Tarantino - himself a fan of the somewhat obscure actor - was just the man to resurrect Waltz's career. A highly regarded stage, television and film actor in Europe since the mid-'70s, Waltz's career finally took off when the irreverent American director tapped him to portray the charming sadist Colonel Hans Landa in his highly-anticipated World War II thriller "Inglourious Basterds" (2009). His layered performance as the multi-lingual, deceptively suave, cold-blooded "Jew Hunter" earned Waltz a coveted Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Suddenly, the Austrian actor was an international star, working with directors like Michel Gondry in the superhero romp "The Green Hornet" (2011) and Roman Polanski in the dark comedy-drama "Carnage" (2011) before rejoining Tarantino and winning a second Academy Award for his role of a bounty hunter in "Django Unchained." Roles as varied as notorious art-world fraud Walter Keane in Tim Burton's "Big Eyes" (2014) and iconic Bond villain Blofeld in "Spectre" (2015) followed. After more than 30 years of steady film and television work in Europe, Waltz's considerable talent was finally recognized by a late-to-the-party Hollywood, and American audiences wanted more.

Dr. King Schultz says: I can see all the passions you inspire are completely justified.
Dr. King Schultz says: Actually, I was thinking of that poor devil you fed to the dogs today, D'Artagnan. And I was wondering what Dumas would make of all this.

Dicky Speck says: Who's that stumbling around in the dark? State your business, or prepare to get winged!

Dr. King Schultz says: You silver-tongued devil, you.
Cardinal Richelieu says: The wonderful thing about fighting an imaginary opponent, Captain Rochefort, is that he is always greatly skilled, yet easily defeated.
Cardinal Richelieu says: The wonderful thing about fighting an imaginary opponent, Captain Rochefort, is that he is always greatly skilled yet easily defeated.
Dr. King Schultz says: Normally, Monsieur Candie, I would say "Auf wiedersehen." But since what "auf wiedersehen" actually means is "'till I see you again", and since I never wish to see you again, to you sir, I say, goodbye.
Dr. King Schultz says: Normally, Monsieur Candie, I would say "Auf Wiedersehen." But since what "Auf Wiedersehen" actually means is "'until I see you again" and since I never wish to see you again, to you sir, I say goodbye.
Calvin Candie says: You sir are a sore loser.
Dr. King Schultz says: And you are an abysmal winner
Dr. King Schultz says: What's your name?
Django says: Django.
Dr. King Schultz says: Then you're the one I'm looking for.
Dr. King Schultz says: [in disbelief] Let me get this straight: Your slave wife speaks German and her name is Broomhilda von Shaft?
Django says: Yep.
Dr. King Schultz says: [after shooting Calvin] Sorry, I couldn't resist
Dr. King Schultz says: [after shooting Calvin] Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Calvin Candie says: You sir are a sore loser
Calvin Candie says: You sir are a sore loser.
Dr. King Schultz says: And you are an abysmal winner
Dr. King Schultz says: And you are an abysmal winner.
Dr. King Schultz says: So, i wish to parley with you
Dr. King Schultz says: So I wish to parley with you.
Ace Speck says: Speak English!
Dr. King Schultz says: Alexander Dumas. He wrote "The Three Musketeers." I figured you must be an admirer. You named your slave after his novel's lead character. If Alexander Dumas had been there today, I wonder what he would have made of it?
Dr. King Schultz says: Alexander Dumas. He wrote 'The Three Musketeers.' I figured you must be an admirer. You named your slave after his novel's lead character. If Alexander Dumas had been there today, I wonder what he would have made of it?
Calvin Candie says: You doubt he'd approve?

Calvin Candie says: Soft hearted Frenchie?
Dr. King Schultz says: Alexander Dumas is black.
Dr. King Schultz says: Positive?
Django says: I don't Know.
Dr. King Schultz says: You don't know if you're positive?

Django says: Yes I'm sure it is Ellis Brittle... I'm positive he dead.
Dr. King Schultz says: My name is Dr. King Schultz, and like yourself, Marshall, I am a servant of the court. The man lying dead in the dirt, who the good people of Daughtrey saw fit to elect as their sheriff, who went by the name of Bill Sharp, is actually a wanted outlaw by the name of Willard Peck, with a price on his head of 200 dollars. Now, that's 200 dollars, dead or alive.
Marshall Gill Tatum says: The hell you say!
Dr. King Schultz says: I'm aware this is probably disconcerting news. But I'm willing to wager this man was elected sheriff sometime in the last 2 years. I know this because 3 years ago, he was rustling cattle from the B.C. Corrigan Cattle Company of Lubbock, Texas. Now this is a warrant, made out by circuit court Judge Henry Allen Laudermilk of Austin Texas. You're encouraged to wire him. He'll back up who I am, and who your dear departed sheriff was. In other words Marshall, you owe me 200 dollars.
Django says: I'll be damned.
Dr. King Schultz says: Now you can get the Marshall...
Dr. King Schultz says: Inn keeper! Remember, get the sheriff, not the Marshall.
Dr. King Schultz says: Good morning inn keeper! Two beers for two weary travellers.
Dr. King Schultz says: Now as to you poor devils…So as I see it, when it comes to the subject of what to do next, you gentlemen have two choices. One: once I'm gone, you could lift that beast off the remaining Speck, then carry him to the nearest town. Which would be at least 37 miles back the way you came. Or Two: You could unshackle yourselves… take that rifle, put a bullet in his head, bury the two of them deep, and then make your way to a more enlightened area of this country. The choice is yours. Oh, and on the off chance there are any astronomy aficionados amongst you, the North Star is that one. Tata.

Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Ooh, that's a bingo! Is that the way you say it? "That's a bingo"?
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Ooh, that's a bingo! Is that the way you say it? 'That's a bingo'?
Lt. Aldo Raine says: You just say "Bingo."
Lt. Aldo Raine says: You just say 'Bingo.'
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Bingo! How fun!
Dr. King Schultz says: I'm sorry. I couldn't resist.
Dr. King Schultz says: Good cold evening gentlemen

Django says: Hey Lil trouble maker.
Dr. King Schultz says: You silver tongued Devil you.
Dr. King Schultz says: It's a German story. There's always a mountain.
Dr. King Schultz says: Calm down. I'm simply a customer trying to conduct a transaction.
Dr. King Schultz says: [To Dlango and Dr. King Schultz] Come on over. We got us a fight going on that's a good bit of fun.
Dr. King Schultz says: [to Dlango and Dr. King Schultz] Come on over. We got us a fight going on that's a good bit of fun.
Calvin Candie says: [to Django and Dr. King Schultz] Come on over. We got us a fight going on that's a good bit of fun.
Dr. King Schultz says: "you silver tongued devil"
Dr. King Schultz says: You silver tongued devil.
Dr. King Schultz says: NOW you can go get the Marshall
Dr. King Schultz says: Now you can go get the marshall.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: What is the American expression? "If the shoe fits, you must wear it."
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: What is the American expression? 'If the shoe fits, you must wear it.'
Django says: Hey there, trouble-maker.
Broomhilda says: *Faints*
Dr. King Schultz says: You silver-tongued devil you.
Calvin Candie says: I've been surrounded my entire life by black faces. I only have one question: Why don't they just rise up and kill the whites?
Dr. King Schultz says: *chuckles* who knows what could happen!
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: I Love My Unoffical Title Precisely Because I Have Earned It.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Now I, on the other hand, love my unofficial title precisely because I've earned it.
Dr. King Schultz says: You silver tongue devil you.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Now if one were to determine what attribute the German people share with a beast, it would be the cunning and the predatory instinct of a hawk. But if one were to determine what attributes the Jews share with a beast, it would be that of the rat. If a rat were to walk in here right now as I'm talking, would you treat it to a saucer of your delicious milk?
Perrier LaPadite says: Probably not.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: I didn't think so. You don't like them. You don't really know why you don't like them. All you know is you find them repulsive. Consequently, a German soldier conducts a search of a house suspected of hiding Jews. Where does the hawk look? He looks in the barn, he looks in the attic, he looks in the cellar, he looks everywhere he would hide, but there's so many places it would never occur to a hawk to hide. However, the reason the Führer's brought me off my Alps in Austria and placed me in French cow country today is because it does occur to me. Because I'm aware what tremendous feats human beings are capable of once they abandon dignity.
Cardinal Richelieu says: An airship.
Louis says: How come I don't have one of those!?
Dr. King Schultz says: How do you like the bounty huntin' business?
Django says: Kill white folks and they pay you for it? What's NOT to like?
Dr. King Schultz says: How do you like the bounty hunting business?
Dr. King Schultz says: Amongst your inventory i believe you have a specimen I am keen to acquire.
Dr. King Schultz says: Amongst your inventory, I've been led to believe you possess a specimen that I am keen to acquire.
Dr. King Schultz says: Do you know what a bounty hunter is?
Django says: You kill people and then they give you a reward?
Dr. King Schultz says: Badder they are, bigger the reward.
Dr. King Schultz says: Calm down. I'm simply a customer trying to conduct a transaction.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Ooh, thats a bingo!
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Is that the way you say it? "That's a bingo?"
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Is that the way you say it? 'That's a bingo?'
Lt. Aldo Raine says: You just say "bingo"

Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Once again, but this time let me hear the music in it! Bravo, bravo!
Nancy Cowan says: Do you think it was the cobbler?
Alan Cowan says: Of course it was. A little warm Coke and BANG!
August says: The world runs on tricks, everyone plays but it's having a true talent, a gift born within something no degree can give you, you have such talent.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Facts could be so misleading, whereas rumours, true or false, are often revealing
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Facts could be so misleading, whereas rumours, true or false, are often revealing.
Alan Cowan says: I saw your friend Jane Fonda on TV the other day. Made me want to run out and buy a poster from the Ku Klux Klan.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: [in French] Monsieur, to both your family and your cows, I say, "Bravo."
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: [in French] Monsieur, to both your family and your cows, I say, 'Bravo.'
Alan Cowan says: I mean who wants to say 'Hail Mary' when having sex.
Alan Cowan says: Unbelievable. Fucking unbelievable!
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: So, gentlemen, let's discuss the prospect of ending the war tonight.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: I'm going to switch back to French now and I want you to follow my masquerade. Is that clear?
Perrier LaPadite says: [Bitterly] Yes.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: [In French] Monsieur LaPadite... I thank you for the milk... and your hospitality. I do believe our business here is done. [To soldiers] Ah, ladies! I thank you for your time. *Points out areas to soldiers* We shan't be bothering your family any longer. So, Monsieur... mademoiselles... I bid farewell to you and say... adieu! *Soldiers shoot into floorboards*
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: [In French] Monsieur LaPadite... I thank you for the milk... and your hospitality. I do believe our business here is done. [To soldiers] Ah, ladies! I thank you for your time. [Points out areas to soldiers] We shan't be bothering your family any longer. So, Monsieur... mademoiselles... I bid farewell to you and say... adieu! [Soldiers shoot into floorboards]
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: You're sheltering them underneath your floorboards, aren't you?
Perrier LaPadite says: [Pause] Yes.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Point out to me the areas where they are hiding.
Perrier LaPadite says: *Points out areas, weeping*
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Since I haven't heard any disturbance I assume, while they are listening, they don't speak English.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: [Between puffs] Now... my job... dictates... that I must have my men enter your home... and conduct a thorough search before I can officially cross your family's name off my list. And if there are any irregularities to be found, rest assured they will be. That is, unless you have something to tell me that makes the conducting of a search unnecessary. I might add also that any information that makes a performance of my duty easier will not be met with punishment. Actually quite the contrary, it will be met with reward. And that reward will be your family will cease to be harassed in any way by the German military during the rest of our occupation of your country. [Pause] You are sheltering enemies of the state, are you not?
Perrier LaPadite says: [Pause] Yes.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Consequently, a German soldier conducts a search of a house suspected of hiding Jews. Where does the hawk look? He looks in the barn, he looks in the attic, he looks in the cellar - he looks everywhere he would hide. But there are so many places it would never occur to a hawk to hide. However, the reason the Fuhrer's brought me off my Alps in Austria and placed me in French cow country today is because it does occur to me. Because I'm aware what tremendous feats human beings are capable of once they abandon dignity. [Pause] May I smoke my pipe as well?

Perrier LaPadite says: Please, Herr Colonel, make yourself at home.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Yet they're both rodents, are they not? And except for the tail they even rather look alike, don't they?
Perrier LaPadite says: It's an interesting thought, Herr Colonel.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Ah! However interesting as the thought may be it makes not one bit of difference to how you feel. If a rat were to walk in here right now as I'm talking, would you greet it with a saucer of your delicious milk?
Perrier LaPadite says: Probably not.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: I didn't think so. You don't like them. You don't really know why you don't like them; all you know is you find them repulsive.

Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Has a rat ever done anything to you to create this animosity you feel toward them?
Perrier LaPadite says: Rats spread disease. They bite people.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Rats were the cause of the bubonic plague, but that's some time ago. I propose to you any disease a rat could spread a squirrel could equally carry. Would you agree?
Perrier LaPadite says: Oui.
Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa says: Yet I assume you don't share the same animosity with squirrels that you do with rats, do you?
Perrier LaPadite says: Non.

Perrier LaPadite says: I suppose I would.
Perrier LaPadite says: Probably not.
