(July 3, 1959–     ): Tall, blond West German actor who portrayed Necros, the formidable assassin who battles Bond (Timothy Dalton) on the cargo nets in The Living Daylights. Born in West Berlin, Wisniewski made his motion picture debut as Fletcher in director Ken Russell’s fanciful horror drama Gothic (1986).
