James Mason kind of started the tradition with his acclaimed portrayal of Rommel in The Desert Fox.

There just aren't that many famous english speaking German actors who have crossed over into international films. Oskar Werner, Maximillian Schell, Carl Schell, Klaus Maria Brandauer and Peter Lorre were all Austrian. 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.
