Wolfgang Kleff

Goalkeeper (soccer) for Borussia Moenchengladbach in the early 1970s, he also played the occasional game for the German National Team and was a member of the 1974 world cup squad. Because of his physical resemblance with German stand-up comic Otto Waalkes he was given the nickname "Otto". Otto Waalkes then promptly gave him a bit part in his first feature film.
