As a child, my brother Ben and I grew up watching The Living Daylights and Die Hard. Years later, after discovering Andreas Wisniewski's Polish roots, I decided to reach out to his agent - never expecting that a simple email would lead to an afternoon together in Berlin.

In this conversation, Andreas reflects on:
• his Polish family history and growing up in Berlin
• portraying the unforgettable Bond villain Necros in The Living Daylights
• his role in the original Die Hard
• transitioning from ballet dancer to actor
• building an international career while acting in English
• language learning and studying eight languages
• Zen Buddhism and the lessons it has taught him
• why he still hopes to visit Poland one day

Along the way, we also talk about Timothy Dalton's Bond, accents, Dutch, Latin, Duolingo and what it means to trust your instincts.

My sincere thanks to Andreas for his generosity, hospitality and a fascinating afternoon in Berlin.

If you enjoyed this conversation, I'd be grateful if you subscribed for more interviews exploring language, culture, history and the remarkable people who connect them.
