Via The WSJ: "Mr. Herzog isn't just depicting such characters on film; he also portrays them himself as an actor. Lately he's been working in front of the camera for young American filmmakers such as Harmony Korine and Zak Penn. In 'The Grand,' a coming mockumentary from Mr. Penn about a high-stakes poker competition, Mr. Herzog stars as a growling player known only as 'The German.'
