By an odd coincidence I used him on Monday for the Famous People thread. You wait ages for a Stellan Skarsgard and then two come together!
 
T - Jacques Tati. French actor and director perhaps best known for his comic films featuring the hapless Monsieur Hulot.
 
I was thinking of him for "T" too. (Real name - Jacques Tatisheff)

W - Christoph Waltz Austro-German actor born in Vienna.
Waltz's American breakthrough role came in Quentin Tarantino's 2009 film Inglourious Basterds, in which he played Austrian SS officer Hans Landa for which he received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and the Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Award. He collaborated with Tarantino again in Django Unchained (2012), for which he earned his second Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, this time for his performance as bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz.
 
I thought that Wim Wenders (German film-maker) may have appeared in some films in his younger days, but can't find anything. He was originally a photographer though, and not a trained actor.
