Wolfgang Otto Völz (16 August 1930 – 2 May 2018) was a German actor. He is known for his roles in theatre plays, TV shows, feature films (especially German films based on Edgar Wallace works) and audio dramas. He was also a very prolific voice actor.

Völz studied acting and consequently worked as a stage actor. After more than ten years of acting, including a great deal of supporting roles in feature films and TV shows, he became a popular cast member (as Lt. Mario de Monti) on Space Patrol – The Fantastic Adventures of the Spaceship Orion.[1] He continued being successful on the TV screen by playing Ioan (German: Johann), the driver and bodyguard of Graf Yoster (and afterwards many other characters).

As a voice actor, he dubbed American stars such as Walter Matthau, Peter Falk and Mel Brooks[2] and characters in animated films like Impy's Island.
