No evidence of meeting WP:ENTERTAINER. He a) has not had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions (his only significant role seems to be that of Hermann Göring in one film), b) does not have large fan base or a significant "cult" following (no evidence of that in English or in German), and c) Has not made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment (again, no evidence of that in English or in German). There is also no evidence that he meets the basic WP:N criteria of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", as most, if not all, references to him are trivial and in the context of him appearing in this or that without actually covering him as an individual.

 * Delete. His "best-known role" was a very minor one. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:48, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep He does have a significant career as an actor and he did have a significant role in one well-known film. PatGallacher (talk) 17:23, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Even if the comment above is correct that his Battle of Britain role was a significant one, WP:ENT asks for multiple significant roles, which Riess does not appear to have had.   Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 20:58, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
