Detlef Bothe (born 24 July 1965) is a German actor, screenwriter, film director and producer.[1] Since the early 1990s, he has appeared in numerous film and television productions, both German and international. In 2015, he appeared in the James Bond film Spectre as a henchman, in a scene where he and Q (Ben Whishaw) are seen riding a cable car in the Austrian Alps.[2]

Bothe became a prominent on-screen representative of the Nazi leader Reinhard Heydrich as he has portrayed Heydrich in three films pertaining to his assassination: the 2011 Czech film Lidice, the 2016 British film Anthropoid, and the 2020 Czech film Betrayer – as well as in 2005 in a BBC documentary series about the Holocaust titled Auschwitz: The Nazis and the 'Final Solution'.[3] Bothe is often praised as "dead ringer" (twin) of Heydrich.[4]
