Klaus Kinski was the most notable German I can think of, and was a monumental pain in the ass on most film sets. Karl Michael Vogler and Anton Diffring were Germans.

Robert Downey Jr. does a great job [ as usual...I'm glad he straightened out his act ] in Tropic Thunder as an Australian playing a black guy......funniest bit in the movie.
