  Udo Kier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Udo Kier (born Udo Kierspe, October 14, 1944 in Cologne, Germany) is a German actor.
Well known mainstream film appearances were as 'Curly' (while bald!) in the Pamela Anderson vehicle, 'Barbed Wire', and as an extremely cynical NASA flight surgeon in Jerry Bruckheimer's all-action blockbuster Armageddon.
Kier also made an appearance in popstar Madonna's 1992 coffee table book, "Sex", as well as the video for her disco hit "Deeper and Deeper" from the album "Erotica." Kier appeared in KoЯn's music video Make Me Bad alongside Brigitte Nielsen, as a military "scientist" conducting bizarre experiments on his "patients" (the band members).

Udo Kier has appeared in nearly sixty films, playing everything from a "French type" gigolo in The Road to St. Tropez in 1963 to the Puppet Master in this year's Pinocchio.

Though as an actor Kier has made a name for himself by essaying frequently bizarre and sometimes sadistic film roles, the man himself is almost the complete opposite of the characters he portrays onscreen, exuding a flamboyant and personable earthy elegance that stands in stark contrast to his unforgettably cold, vampiric screen presence.
Moments later the hospital was bombed and Kier's mother began the grueling task of digging herself and her son from out of the rubble.
Though Kier would appear in a few films rounding out the 1960s, it was his part in the controversial 1970 film The Mark of the Devil that would truly set his career path in motion.

Since the beginning of his artistic carreer in the United States, Saunders has been inspired by Andy Warhol’s cinematographic work and his long collaboration with the actor Udo Kier, transposing in painting many scenes from Warhol’s movies and creating of the actor.
His animation-portrait of Kier evolved from this approach: «I wanted to push this technique to its extreme, so I did it 630 times and thus recomposed the film sequence after having decomposed it into 630 images.
The act of drawing changes the relationship between the spectator and myself, between the spectator and the film ; it is my way of redefining Kier as an icon.» A giant portrait, a powerful physical presence, the beginning of the life of a star.

It brings tears of overwhelming joy to host the man, the myth, the legend, UDO KIER, in Austin Texas for a special midnight cinematic feast.
Frankenstein (played straightfaced and earnestly deadpanned by Kier) pieces together male and female monsters, eventually lacking only the perfect "Serbian nasum."
