Otto Gerhard Waalkes (born July 22, 1948 in Emden, Germany) is a German comedian and actor. He became famous in the 1970s and 1980s in Germany with his shows, books and movies. His perhaps most famous trademark are the 'Ottifanten' ('Ottiphants'), elephant-like comic characters of his own design. They featured on the cover of his first album release.[1]
He shares a close friendship with one of Germany's greatest female tennis players and a former worldwide tennis star Steffi Graf, who also makes an appearance in the movie Otto - Der Außerfriesische. He has one child ("Benjamin Karl Otto Grigori Waalkes") with his first wife Manuela Ebelt, and is now married to actress Eva Haßmann.
