Traits: Addictive, sarcastic, dulcet

It's hinted that Dieter has won an Oscar, which is ironic considering his character seems to be cast in such a poor movie as Cliff Beasts 6.

Dieter's tone of voice is slightly gravelly and deep, and he speaks softly most of the time, unless he has a point to make, or gets overly excited. His accent is predominantly American, although it's not revealed where he is from directly.

Dieter is allergic to peanuts. Sean declares his allergy in the scene where they try to revive Dieter.

It's often stated by critics/character descriptions online, that Dieter is "addicted to drugs and sex." Bear in mind though, that we don't actually see Dieter have sex at all in the film, even though he asks, aside from the mirror scene, which is a hallucination whilst he's high on acid tabs.

Dieter is seen taking a variety of drugs, from his own stash, in the film such as cocaine, pills, laughing gas (black balloon) and acid tabs. He's also seen drinking whiskey and champagne.

Dieter states "change me. Change me. Change me" into the mirror, suggesting he is aware of his drug issues and wants to change.

Pedro contributed majorly to Dieter's overall look in this film.

Dieter's look has been likened to The Dude from the 1998 film The Big Lewbowski.

Dieter's black inverted triangle tattoo looks to represent the victims of the Nazi's in concentration camps known as 'asocials'. (You can read more about this at the bottom of this post.)

Dieter wears a Tibetan looking woven bracelet, hinting that he could be Buddhist.

Dieter is a keen painter. In his hotel room, you can see numerous paintings on the walls and also several canvases scattered around his room in various stages of completion. His pants also have paint on them in some scenes. Dieter also paints a large mural of the artist Franciso Goya's, Saturn Devouring His Son, on the wall. (You can find out more about that specific painting at the bottom of this post.)

It could also be assumed that Dieter has neurotic tendencies. For example, he states he doesn't wear wireless earbuds due to believeing the EMF frequencies will mess with his brainwaves.

It's apparent that Dieter seems the type to fall in love easily, as he does with Anika, and refers to her as "an angel."
