My Take
Martin Wuttke is, to me, a proper actor's actor, the sort who built a real reputation on the German-speaking stage before most international viewers ever saw him. That theatre grounding shows. Most people know him as the over-the-top Hitler in Inglourious Basterds, and sharing that Screen Actors Guild ensemble award is a nice footnote, but I suspect his stage work is where the real depth lives. The 2015 Nestroy Theatre Prize backs that up. He's also directed, which tells me he thinks about the whole picture, not just his own part. I'd happily watch him in something far quieter than Tarantino.
