## Vida i carrera

Els seus pares eren alemanys i va obtenir la mateixa nacionalitat en néixer. Malgrat que els seus pares, Johannes Waltz i Elisabeth Urbancic, van ser decoradors, la tradició familiar en el món de l'espectacle li ve dels seus avis, que també van ser actors, així com els seus besavis, que van treballar al teatre.
Waltz va estudiar interpretació al Max Reinhardt Seminar de Viena i al Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute de Nova York. Va començar com a actor de teatre en escenaris com el Schauspielhaus Zürich, al Burgtheater i durant el Festival de Salzburg. Waltz a més de parlar alemany, parla anglès i francès, com demostra en el seu personatge de Hans Landa en la pel·lícula Maleïts malparits, amb la que guanyà un Òscar. La consolidació del seu treball va ser quan el 2013, guanyà l'Òscar com a millor actor secundari a la pel·lícula Django desencadenat. Aquest premis l'han consolidat com el millor austríac de tots els temps, amb 2 Òscars com a premis més rellevants.
