Austria (1922 - 1984). Actro austriaco, cuyo verdadero nombre es Oskar Josef Bschliessmayer, nacido el 13 de Noviembre de 1922 en Viena y fallecido el 23 de octubre de 1984 en Marburg, Alemania Occidental. Member of Vienna's renowned Burgtheater who alternated between stage and screen work from the late 1940s. Werner scored leads in several European productions but, save for his poignant performance in DECISION BEFORE DAWN (1951), remained better known for his theater work; he was generally considered his country's greatest talent. Fair-haired and slight, Werner re-emerged in the 1960s in a string of excellent film roles, including Jules in François Truffaut's classic JULES ET JIM (1961), the world-weary counterspy in THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD (1965) and the ship's physician in SHIP OF FOOLS (1965), por la que fue nominado al Oscar como Mejor Actor.
