Udo Kierspe (born 14 October 1944), known professionally as Udo Kier, is a German actor. Known primarily as a character actor, Kier has appeared in more than 220 films in both leading and supporting roles throughout Europe and the Americas. He has collaborated with acclaimed filmmakers such as Lars von Trier, Gus Van Sant, Werner Herzog, Walerian Borowczyk, Kleber Mendonça Filho, Dario Argento, Charles Matton, Guy Maddin, Alexander Payne, and Paul Morrissey.

Early life

Kier was born in Cologne, near the end of World War II. The hospital where he was born was bombed by the invading Allied forces moments after his birth, and he and his mother had to be dug out of the rubble. He grew up without a father. In his youth, he was an altar boy and cantor. He moved to London, England at the age of 18 to learn the English language.

Career

In 1966, Kier was cast in the lead role for the film Road to St. Tropez. An early starring role in Andy Warhol's Frankenstein (1973) led to a string of art-house, low-budget, and mainstream horror films, including a number of vampire-themed pictures Die Einsteiger (1985), Blade (1998), Modern Vampires (1998), Shadow of the Vampire (2000), Dracula 3000 and BloodRayne (2005). He has also become famous for his work with cult directors, including Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Walerian Borowczyk, Gus Van Sant, Christoph Schlingensief, and Dario Argento (whose classic Suspiria (1977) he was featured in). He has appeared in almost all of Lars von Trier's movies since 1987's Epidemic (with the exceptions of The Idiots, The Boss of it All, Antichrist and The House That Jack Built).

His most famous Hollywood roles include his appearance as Ron Camp in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), Curly in Barb Wire, as a NASA flight psychologist in Armageddon, as the villainous Lorenzini in The Adventures of Pinocchio and 1999 sequel The New Adventures of Pinocchio, and as Ralfi in the film Johnny Mnemonic. His music video work includes Madonna's "Deeper and Deeper" from the album Erotica,[12] Korn's "Make Me Bad", Eve's "Let Me Blow Ya Mind", and "Die Schöne und das Biest" by defunct German band Rauhfaser.

He has also worked extensively as a voice actor, starring as the psychic Yuri (as well as the voice of the PsiCorps) in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and its expansion, Yuri's Revenge. He also voiced The Music Master in Justice League, Herbert Ziegler in The Batman, Ivan Bahn in Metropia, Professor Pericles as well as a Shadowy Figure in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, Mister Toad in Beware the Batman, Warden in Axe Cop, Head Vampire Vampire in Major Lazer, Dylan Beekler's Backpack in Golan the Insatiable and Dr. Peter Straub in Call of Duty: WWII.

A documentary on his life and career entitled ICH-UDO...der Schauspieler Udo Kier (ME –UDO...the actor Udo Kier) was filmed for Arte, the European Franco-German culture channel, and released in 2012. In 2013, the documentary won the New York Festival "Finalist Certificate".

Personal life

Kier is gay, and has been open about his homosexuality his entire life. "No one ever asked about my sexuality. Maybe it was obvious, but it didn't make any difference because all that mattered was the role I was playing. As long as I did a good job on the part, no one cared about my sexuality."

He moved to Palm Springs, California, United States, in 1991.

伊尔姆·赫尔曼是一位德国女演员，尤以其与法斯宾德的多次合作闻名。

她本是全德汽车俱乐部的一名秘书，1966年在一场话剧竞赛中结识了法斯宾德，随即成为他的倾慕者。她是法氏早期话剧社Antiteater中的一员，也与他有着爱情上的纠葛，但在法氏去世之后，她表示后者对她有着身体和精神上的虐待行为。她与法氏拍摄了超过20部电影，大多饰演一些势利的配角，唯有在《四季商人》中，她扮演男主角的妻子，是她为数不多的主角角色。1975年，她结束了与法斯宾德的纠葛，从慕尼黑搬到柏林，并逐渐走出了他的阴影，职业生涯再度重启，先后与赫尔佐格、施林根西夫和德国幽默家Loriot合作。近年来在票房大红的喜剧《该死的歌德3》里饰演祖母。赫尔曼于2020年五月因病去世，享年77岁。

福尔克·施彭勒是德国电影和戏剧演员，尤因他与法斯宾德的多次合作而著名，代表作是《十三个月亮》。

施彭勒年轻时当过海员，学过销售。20岁时在萨尔茨堡和维也纳学习表演。随后他在德语区各大剧院逐渐站稳了脚跟，开始了长达60年的舞台剧生涯。

70年代中期，他开始多次与法斯宾德合作，首先是一些配角，后来逐渐演变成重要的性格演员。在法斯宾德1978年的重要作品《十三个月亮》里，他饰演了变性人主角艾薇拉，成为名留影史之作。法斯宾德逝世后，他的重心转回舞台，频繁在德国著名剧院柏林剧团和人民剧院登台，常与舞台剧导演勒内·波勒施和克里斯托弗·施林根西夫合作。后者也常在自己的电影里启用施彭勒，借以向法斯宾德致敬。

2020年二月，他于柏林去世，享年80岁。
