Bruno Ganz, best known for his role as Adolf Hitler in Downfall. There was a scene in the movie where Hitler gets furious at the knowledge of the lost war. This is the inspiration for those Hitler viral videos on YouTube.
Funnily, this struck me only because of a comment on a post on BoingBoing.

BB has been Godwinned.
Bruno Ganz played Adolf Hitler in Der Untergang. An awesome movie, now famous for the Hitler’s downfall scene, which has been dubbed into thousands of scenarios. Like him being banned from WoW, planning Burning Man, TN’s engineering colleges, blocked by Chetan Bhagat, etc.

This is Bruno Ganz, who starred in the Movie “Downfall” based on the last days in the life of Hitler. This resulted in the “Hitler Meme” on Youtube and other sites, where videos spoofing the same appeared. Serious scenes in the movie were portrayed with jokey english translations on contemporary events such as Hilary Clinton.
