Gottfried John (German: ; 29 August 1942 – 1 September 2014) was a German stage, screen, and voice actor. A long-time collaborator of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, John appeared in many of the filmmaker's projects between 1975 and his death in 1982, including Mother Küsters Goes to Heaven, Despair, The Marriage of Maria Braun, and Berlin Alexanderplatz. His distinctive, gaunt appearance saw him he frequently cast as villains, and he is best known to audiences for his role as the corrupt General Arkady Ourumov in the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye, and for his comedic turn as Julius Caesar in Asterix & Obelix Take On Caesar, the latter for which he won the Bavarian Film Award for Best Supporting Actor.

John was born in Berlin, Germany on 29 August 1942. In World War II he and his mother were evacuated to East Prussia; his father, whom he never met, was married to another woman. He grew up with his single parent mother and in several protectories; John fled from such a protectory when he was 15 years old and returned to his mother, who was living in Paris.
