20 Actor Nationalities You've Been Getting Wrong All Your Life

16. Christoph Waltz

The guy that played a GERMAN S.S. OFFICER in Inglourious Basterds, and then a GERMAN BOUNTY HUNTER in Django Unchained? Lemme think for a minute: could he possibly be GERMAN? Not Exactly... Despite the fact that Christoph Waltz has nabbed two Oscars for playing German characters, he was born in Vienna, Austria, you know. He does hold German citizenship, too, but even Waltz had has said he thinks of himself as Austrian. So there.

15. Louis C.K.

"The world's newest favourite comedian is about American as they come, isn't he? Listen to that accent! Look at that ginger goatee, and, uh... overweightness? What else could this guy be other than a bonafide US citizen? Don't lie to me now, website." Well... Although C.K. was technically born in Washington D.C., Louis' father was Mexican, he lived in Mexican City until he was 7-years-old, and his first language was actually Spanish. He's also a Mexican citizen and his surname is "Szekely." Louis often describes himself as "an accidental white person" as a result.
