Though he has been acting for more than three decades, Waltz earned his first taste of true international acclaim for his portrayal of SS Colonel Hans Landa in the 2009 Quentin Tarantino film “Inglourious Basterds.”Christoph has more than 120 acting credits to his name, such as “Carnage” (2011), “Django Unchained” (2012), “Horrible Bosses 2” (2014), “Big Eyes” (2014), and “Most Dangerous Game” (2020).

His mother, Elisabeth, was an Austrian costume designer, and his father, Johannes, was a German set designer. His maternal grandmother was Maria Mayen, a silent film actress, and his great-grandfather and step-grandfather were also actors. Christoph lost his father when he was just 7 years old, and his mother later married Alexander Steinbrecher, a composer and conductor. Waltz became interested in opera during his youth and saw his first opera at age 10. He attended the Theresianum school in Vienna, then studied acting at the Max Reinhardt Seminar while also studying opera and singing at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
