His international breakthrough came when he was cast in the 1997 James Bond feature Tomorrow Never Dies as Mr. Stamper, the assistant to the main villain Elliot Carver. During his audition, Otto was instructed to introduce himself in twenty seconds, to which he stated, "I'm big, I'm bad, and I'm German," completing his introduction in five seconds.
Following his James Bond role, Otto continued to build a varied filmography across different genres and international productions. He portrayed SS-Sturmbannführer Otto Günsche in the critically acclaimed 2004 historical film Downfall, and appeared in the United Kingdom film Alien Autopsy in 2006.

Outside of acting, Otto has occasionally participated in auto racing. He drove the German Mini Challenge VIP car at Oschersleben in 2007, where he performed strongly in his first race before rolling his vehicle on the second turn of the second race.
