'''Götz Otto''' (born [[15 October]] [[1967]]) is a [[Germany|German]] [[actor]] known for his very tall stature. He is 199 cm (6 ft 6 ½ inches) tall and is often characterised by bleached blonde hair in his films. |

{{see also|Cleveland Browns#1991-95: Bill Belichick and Modell's move}} |
|||
On [[November 6]], [[1995]],then [[Cleveland Browns]] owner [[Art Modell]] announced his intention to move the team to Baltimore, citing the inadequacy of [[Cleveland Stadium]] and the lack of a sufficient replacement along with his heavy debt. The decision triggered a flurry of legal activity that ended when representatives of Cleveland and the NFL reached a settlement on [[February 8]], [[1996]]. It stipulated that the Browns' name, colors, and history of the franchise were to remain in Cleveland, including past records and the attribution of its [[Pro Football Hall of Fame]] players. A reactivated Cleveland Browns team would then begin play in [[1999]], while Modell's relocated club would technically and legally be a "new franchise", and an [[expansion team]], the Ravens.<ref>Morgan, Jon. [http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/football/bal-modell020996,1,1050941.story Deal clears NFL path to Baltimore], ''[[The Baltimore Sun]]'', [[February 9]], [[1996]].</ref> At first, some considered the Ravens and the pre-1995 Browns organization as one continuous entity, and used terms like "The Modell organization" or "Art Modell's franchise" to denote it.<ref>Scocca, Tom. [http://www.citypaper.com/columns/story.asp?id=8519 Welcome to the Big Time], ''Baltimore City Paper'' [[September 23]], [[1998]].</ref> This practice has all but died since Modell ended his reign as majority owner following the 2003 season. |
|||
Otto was born in [[Dietzenbach]] in [[Hesse]] and his parents ran a bakery in the city. |
|||
The CFL team, the [[Baltimore Stallions]], had proved such a success and the fans showed up in droves to prove they deserved an NFL franchise. This caught the attention of Modell. |
|||
He is perhaps most famous for his portrayal as [[List of James Bond henchmen in Tomorrow Never Dies#Mr. Stamper|Mr. Stamper]], the assistant of [[Elliot Carver]] ([[Jonathan Pryce]]) in the 1997 [[James Bond]] film, ''[[Tomorrow Never Dies]]''. When called in for casting, Götz Otto (Mr. Stamper) was given twenty seconds to introduce himself. Saying, "I am big, I am bad, and I am German", he did it in five. |
|||
After relocating his franchise, retaining the current contracts of former Browns players and personnel as per the agreement made by the city of Cleveland and the NFL, owner [[Art Modell]] hired [[Ted Marchibroda]] as head coach, who had previous experience with the [[History of the Indianapolis Colts|Baltimore Colts]] during the 1970s and the [[Indianapolis Colts]] during the early 1990s. [[Ozzie Newsome]], the Browns tight end for many seasons, joined Modell in Baltimore as director of football operations. He was later promoted to Vice President/General Manager. |
|||
He also had a minor role in the [[1993]] [[Steven Spielberg]] film ''[[Schindler's List]]''. Otto later played the role of SS-Sturmbannführer [[Otto Günsche]] in the critically acclaimed 2004 film ''[[Downfall (film)|Downfall]]''.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0653248/ Götz Otto<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |
|||
Otto also appeared in the UK film [[Alien Autopsy (film)|Alien Autopsy (2006)]]. |
|||
Focus groups, a telephone survey, and a fan contest were all held to help select a new name for Modell's relocated club. Starting with a list of over 100 possible names, the team's management reduced it to 17. From there, focus groups of a total of 200 Baltimore area residents reduced the list of names to six, and then a phone survey of 1000 people trimmed it down to three, Marauders, Americans, and Ravens. Finally, a fan contest drawing 33,288 voters picked "Ravens," a name that alludes to the famous poem, "[[The Raven]]," by [[Edgar Allan Poe]], who spent the early part of his career in Baltimore, and is also buried there.<ref>{{cite web | title=Baltimore Ravens History | url=http://www.profootballhof.com/history/team.jsp?franchise_id=3 | publisher=[[Pro Football Hall of Fame]] | accessdate=2006-08-25}}</ref> |

He has turned his hand to being an occasional race car driver. In 2007, he raced in the German MINI CHALLENGE VIP car at Oschersleben. After a strong performance in the first race, he rolled the car on the second turn of race two. He has been given another opportunity in the MINI CHALLENGE VIP Car at the 2008 German Grand Prix at Hockenheim. |
|||
When Modell moved to Baltimore, the team brought along players such as [[Anthony Pleasant]], [[Vinny Testaverde]], [[Matt Stover]], [[Eric Turner]] and [[Rob Burnett]]. |

==Filmography== |
||
*[[Kleine Haie]] (1992) .... Body |
|||
In [[1997]] (the team's final season at [[Memorial Stadium (Baltimore)|Memorial Stadium]]), the Ravens started 3-1. [[Peter Boulware]], with 11.5 sacks, was named AFC Defensive Rookie of the Year, but the Ravens finished 6-9-1. |

==1998 season== |
|||
*[[Schindler's List]] (1993) .... Plaszow SS Guard |
|||
Baltimore began the season by moving into their new stadium [[M&T Bank Stadium|Ravens Stadium]] (eventually the stadium would be called PSINet Stadium and later M&T Bank Stadium). Testaverde, who had left for the [[New York Jets]], was replaced by [[Eric Zeier]], and later, former Indianapolis Colt [[Jim Harbaugh]] . Defensive back [[Rod Woodson]] joined the team after a successful stint with the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]], and [[Priest Holmes]] started getting the first playing time of his career and ran for 1,000 yards, but the Ravens finished with a 6-10 record. |
|||
*[[Lauras Entscheidung]](1994) (TV) |
|||
*[[Nur über meine Leiche]](1995) .... Zuhälter 1 - Pimp #1 |
|||
After three consecutive losing seasons, Marchibroda was succeeded by [[Brian Billick]], who had served as the offensive coordinator for the record setting offense of the [[Minnesota Vikings]] the season before. |
|||
*[[Nach Fünf im Urwald]] (1995) .... Türsteher |
|||
*Gridlock (1996) (TV) .... Mr. Two |
|||
==1999 season== |
|||
*"[[Doppelter Einsatz]]" .... Bernd Glowacz (1 episode, 1996) |
|||
In the 1999 season, with a newly renamed stadium, PSINet Stadium (now [[M&T Bank Stadium]]), Baltimore showed a marked improvement. Quarterback [[Tony Banks (quarterback)|Tony Banks]] came to Baltimore from the [[St. Louis Rams]] and had the best season of his career with 17 touchdown passes and an 81.2 [[pass rating]]. He was joined by receiver [[Qadry Ismail]], who posted a 1,000-yard season. The Ravens struggled early, starting 3-6; but rattled off four consecutive wins to put themselves in playoff contention. A loss in the final week sent them home early with an 8-8 record. |

|||
Banks shared playing time in the 2000 regular season with [[Trent Dilfer]]. Both players put up decent numbers (and a 1,364-yard rushing season by rookie [[Jamal Lewis]] helped too) but the defense became the team's hallmark and bailed a struggling offense out in many instances through the season. [[Ray Lewis (NFL)|Ray Lewis]] was named Defensive Player of the Year. Two of his defensive teammates, [[Sam Adams (football player)|Sam Adams]] and [[Rod Woodson]], made the [[Pro Bowl]]. Baltimore's season started strong with a 5-1 record. But the team struggled through mid-season, at one point going five games without scoring an offensive touchdown. The team regrouped and won each of their last seven games, finishing 12-4 and making the [[playoffs]] for the first time. |
|||
*Shine - Die Angst hat einen Namen (1996) (VG) (voice) .... Wetherby Duke |
|||
*"Rosamunde Pilcher" .... Giles Savours (1 episode, 1997) |
|||
During the 2000 season, the Ravens defense broke two notable NFL records. They held opposing teams to 165 total points, surpassing the 1985 [[Chicago Bears]] mark of 198 points for a 16 game seasonas well as surpassing the 1986 [[Chicago Bears]] mark of 187 points for a 16 game season, which at that time was the current NFL record. |
|||
*Friedensmission, Die (1997) (TV) |
|||
*"Kommissar Schimpanski" .... LKA-Beamter Lieb (1 episode, 1997) |
|||
Since the divisional rival [[Tennessee Titans]] had a record of 13-3, the Ravens had to play in the [[Wild card (sports)#National Football League|wild card]] round. They dominated the [[Denver Broncos]] 21-3 in their first game. In the divisional playoff, they went on the road to Tennessee. With the score tied 10-10 in the fourth quarter, an [[Al Del Greco]] [[field goal (football)|field goal]] attempt was blocked and returned for a touchdown by Anthony Mitchell, and a [[Ray Lewis (NFL)|Ray Lewis]] interception return for a score put the game squarely in Baltimore's favor. The 24-10 win put the Ravens in the [[AFC Championship]] against the [[Oakland Raiders]]. The game was rarely in doubt. [[Shannon Sharpe]]'s 96-yard touchdown catch early in the second quarter followed by an injury to Raiders quarterback [[Rich Gannon]] were crucial as the Ravens won easily, 16-3. |
|||
*"Tatort" .... Arnold von Brentano (1 episode, 1997) |
|||
*Schutzengel, Der (1997) (TV) .... Kai |
|||
Baltimore then went to [[Tampa]] for [[Super Bowl XXXV]] against the [[New York Giants]]. The game was also dominated by the Ravens. They recorded four sacks and forced five turnovers, one of which was a [[Kerry Collins]] interception returned for a touchdown by [[Duane Starks]]. The Giants' only score was a [[Ron Dixon]] kickoff return for another touchdown; however, the Ravens immediately countered with a return by [[Jermaine Lewis]]. The Ravens became champions with a 34-7 win, becoming only the third [[Wild card (sports)#National Football League|wild card]] team to win a Super Bowl championship. |

|||
==2001 season== |
|||
*Niña de tus ojos, La (1998) .... Heinrich von Wermelskirch |
|||
In 2001, the Ravens attempted to defend their title with a new quarterback, [[Elvis Grbac]], but an injury to [[Jamal Lewis]] and poor offensive performance stymied the team. After a 3-3 start, the Ravens defeated the [[Minnesota Vikings]] in the final week to clinch a wild card berth at 10-6. In the first round the Ravens showed flashes of their previous year with a 20-3 blowout over the [[Miami Dolphins]], in which the team forced three turnovers and outgained the Dolphins 347 yards to 151. In the divisional playoff the Ravens played the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]]. Three interceptions by Grbac ended the Ravens' season, as they lost 27-10. |

*Framed (1999) .... Pfleger 1 |
|||
Baltimore ran into [[salary cap]] problems in 2002 and was forced to cut several players, including [[Sam Adams (football player)|Sam Adams]], [[Rod Woodson]] and [[Shannon Sharpe]]. The Ravens replaced Woodson by drafting safety [[Ed Reed]] in the first round. Longtime backup QB [[Chris Redman]] took over behind center. The Ravens stayed somewhat competitive, before a December slide cost them a playoff spot with a 7-9 final record. |
|||
*Voyeur, Der (1999) (TV) .... Curt Rinneberg |
|||
Those who left on the big cutdown were: [[Sam Adams (football player)|Sam Adams]] ([[Buffalo Bills]]), [[Rod Woodson]] (Oakland Raiders), [[Shannon Sharpe]] ([[Denver Broncos]]), [[Jamie Sharper]] ([[Houston Texans]]), [[Jermaine Lewis]] (Houston Texans), [[Tony Siragusa]] (retired), [[Elvis Grbac]] (retired), [[Randall Cunningham]] (retired), [[Larry Chester]] ([[Miami Dolphins]]), [[Rob Burnett]] (Miami Dolphins), [[Obafemi Ayanbadejo]] (Miami Dolphins), [[Kipp Vickers]] (n/a), [[Brad Jackson]] ([[Carolina Panthers]]), [[Danny Knight]] ([[Indianapolis Colts]]), [[Qadry Ismail]] ([[Indianapolis Colts]]), [[Sam Gash]] ([[Buffalo Bills]]), [[Leon Searcy]] (n/a), [[Eric Zeier]] (retired), [[Duane Starks]] ([[Arizona Cardinals]]), and coach [[Marvin Lewis]] ([[Cincinnati Bengals]]). The Ravens did sign [[quarterback]] [[Jeff Blake]] from the [[New Orleans Saints]]. The team re-signed linebacker [[Ray Lewis (American football)|Ray Lewis]]. |

|||
In 2003, the Ravens drafted their new quarterback, [[Kyle Boller]], but he was injured midway through the season and was replaced by [[Anthony Wright (quarterback)|Anthony Wright]]. Jamal Lewis ran for 2,066 yards (including a record 295 yards in one game against the [[Cleveland Browns]] on [[September 14]]). With a 10–6 record, Baltimore won their first [[AFC North]] division title. Their first playoff game, at home against the [[Tennessee Titans]], went back and forth, with the Ravens being held to only 54 yards total rushing. The Titans won 20-17 on a late field goal, and Baltimore's season ended early. |

In April 2003, [[Art Modell]] sold 49% of the team to [[Steve Bisciotti]], a local businessman who had made his fortune in the temporary staffing field. After the season, Art Modell officially transferred his remaining 51% ownership to Bisciotti, ending over 40 years of tenure as an NFL franchise owner. Modell still has an office at the Ravens' headquarters in Owings Mills, Maryland, and acts as a consultant. |

The Ravens attempted to engineer a trade for [[Terrell Owens]] in the 2004 offseason, but the NFLPA filed a grievance with the NFL, claiming Terrell Owens should have been granted free agency. Just before a judge made a decision in the case, the NFL and NFLPA came to a settlement, which set up a 3-way trade between the Eagles, 49ers, and Ravens. Owens went to the Eagles, and the Ravens got back the pick they had traded to the 49ers, and were also granted a 5th round draft pick. Boller remained quarterback through the entire season. [[Ed Reed]] became a full-fledged star on defense, with nine interceptions. Reed was also named the league's [[Defensive Player of the Year]]. He broke the NFL record for longest INT return, with a 106 yard return against the [[Cleveland Browns]]. Baltimore remained in playoff contention the entire season, but with a 9-7 record did not go to the playoffs. |

In the 2005 offseason the Ravens looked to augment their receiving corps (which was second-worst in the NFL in 2004) by signing [[Derrick Mason]] from the Titans and drafting star Oklahoma wide receiver [[Mark Jermain Clayton|Mark Clayton]] in the first round of the [[2005 NFL Draft]]. |

The 2005 season (the Ravens' 10th Anniversary season) began as the featured [[Sunday Night Football]] game televised by [[ESPN]]. This game against the [[Indianapolis Colts]] led the announcer to state, "What a wonderful way to begin the season, the game between the team that plays here now and the team which used to play here." The game's first half was a defensive slugfest, with the score at the half 3-0 Colts, but the second half saw the Ravens fall apart and starting QB [[Kyle Boller]] was lost to a foot injury (Colts 24, Ravens 7). |

|||
*Family Affairs - Gier nach Glück (2002) (TV) .... Dave |
|||
In the 2nd week road opener versus historic rival Tennessee, backup QB [[Anthony Wright (quarterback)|Anthony Wright]] failed to spark the offense and the defense couldn't hold the Titans back, allowing the second straight loss (25-10). During the team's bye week, coach Billick tried to install the idea that after the bye, the season starts anew and they forget about their past losses. This strategy led the Ravens to a Week 4 Win against the Jets (13-3), but the Ravens fell apart against the Lions (35-17), setting a franchise record for penalties in a single game (21). The Ravens rebounded at home the next week against the Cleveland Browns, with a final score of 16-3. However, from Week 7 to Week 10, the Ravens would lose to the [[Chicago Bears]] (10-6), the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] (20-19), the [[Cincinnati Bengals]] (21-9), and the [[Jacksonville Jaguars]] (30-3). |

The Ravens turned the tide in a Week 11 rematch with the Steelers at home, winning 16-13 in OT, but were season-swept by the Bengals the next week, 42-29. The Ravens won their next game against the hapless [[Houston Texans]] 16-15, but lost a week later on the road to the [[Denver Broncos]] 12-10. Then, the Ravens played their final two home games under the prime time light. First, they manhandled the [[Green Bay Packers]] on Monday Night 48-3. Then, they destroyed any playoff chance that the [[Minnesota Vikings]] had by winning on Sunday Night 30-23. Despite the resurgence of Kyle Boller, they couldn't carry their momentum entirely. Despite leading the Browns 13-6 at halftime, they lost the lead in the 3rd quarter and trailed for the rest of the game, ultimately losing 20-16. |

The Ravens ended their season 6-10. Despite having the same regular season record as the [[Cleveland Browns]], the Ravens were technically third in the AFC North, since they beat the Browns on the division records tiebreaker: In the AFC North, the Ravens were 2-4, while the Browns were 1-5. |

The 2006 Baltimore Ravens season began with the team trying to improve on their 6-10 record in 2005. The Ravens, for the first time in franchise history, started 4-0 under the surprising leadership of former Titans quarterback [[Steve McNair]]. With miracle offensive plays engineered primarily in the second half of games by players [[Todd Heap]], Jamal Lewis, [[Mark Jermain Clayton]], and even backup quarterback Kyle Boller, the team scored key victories over playoff-bound teams such as San Diego and New Orleans. |
|||
*"Pfarrer Braun" .... Pater Andreas (1 episode, 2005) |

The Ravens then lost 2 straight games mid-season on offensive troubles, prompting coach Brian Billick to drop their offensive coordinator [[Jim Fassel]] in their week 7 bye. Also during the mid-season, the Ravens won an important victory when McNair and wide receiver Derrick Mason returned with the Ravens to their former stomping grounds of Tennessee to defeat the Titans. |

Riding the influence of their winning streak, the Ravens sought a sweep of the [[AFC North]] division in a rematch against the Bengals late in the season. Baltimore was unable to produce offensively enough to overcome a team lead by their own former defensive coordinator [[Marvin Lewis]]. The loss ended Baltimore's hopes of a division sweep. |

Still ranked second overall to the first-place [[San Diego Chargers|San Diego]], Baltimore continued. They slowed down the surging [[Kansas City Chiefs|Chiefs]], continued dominance over rival Cleveland, and held the defending Super Bowl champion [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] to only one touchdown at Heinz Field, allowing the Ravens to still clinch the AFC North. |

The Ravens ended the regular season with a franchise-best 13–3 record. Still considered one of the better teams in the NFL, and a [[Super Bowl]] favorite by some the Ravens had secured the AFC North title, the #2 AFC playoff seed, and clinched a 1st-round bye. The Ravens were slated to face the [[Indianapolis Colts]] in the second round of the playoffs, in the first meeting of the two teams in the playoffs. Many Baltimore and Indianapolis fans saw this historic meeting as a sort of "Judgment Day" with the new team of Baltimore facing the old team of Baltimore (the former Baltimore Colts having left Baltimore under questionable circumstances in 1983). In one of the most bizarre playoff games in NFL history, both Indianapolis and Baltimore were held to scoring only field goals as the two defenses slugged it out all over [[M&T Bank Stadium]]. McNair threw two costly interceptions, including one at the 1-yard line. The Super Bowl bound Colts won 15-6, ending Baltimore's season. |

During this offseason the Ravens waived Jamal Lewis, who signed with the Cleveland Browns, and failed to re-sign [[Adalius Thomas]] who signed with the New England Patriots, and [[Ovie Mughelli]] who signed with the Atlanta Falcons. Ravens then traded for Willis McGahee with a 3rd and 7th round draft pick in 2007 and a 3rd round pick in 2008. |
