Joe Kucan (Kane) mentioned a bit about his dealings with Udo Kier in his ama (C&P) I remember wrapping up the final shots of Yuri's Revenge at 2am in the morning. And then Udo, the actor who portrayed Yuri, had another hour and a half in the makeup chair having his prosthetic pieces carefully removed. I sat with him the whole time, not wanting to bail on such a dedicated actor even though by then I had been on set for 26 hours. Udo pulled out a bottle of vodka that he had swiped from the hotel and we drank a series of toasts - to videogames, Andy Warhol (with whom he had worked back in the day), death rays and Roman Polanski (who had produced one of Udo's first movies.). He was a little put out when I refused to drink to Polanski. Udo had such a smooth, soft voice and he would always refer to me as "my director." My heart would glow a little every time he would say that - "my director." You can see Yuri any time you like: just Google "Udo Kier". He's been in every movie ever made.

[@alesin1992]

+Daggus Maximus That's true, Udo Kier appeared in a shitload of movies. I call him "the German Ron Perlman".

2nd best role in the series. Stalin from RA1 was the best.

I don't think so. It was pretty bad at times. The scene where he 'strangled' another officer was laughable. Fake anger, a grip that can't possibly strangle someone.... You could argue it was pretty much the pre-search engine era so research was more difficult, but it wouldn't have taken an hour to run down to whatever fighting sports centres were nearby and ask them to show how the actor to mimic an actual stranglehold.
