John was born in Berlin, Germany, on 29 August 1942. During World War II, he and his mother were evacuated to East Prussia; his father, whom he never met, was married to another woman. He grew up with his single-parent mother and in several protectories; John fled from one when he was 15 years old and returned to his mother, who was living in Paris, France. In Paris, he earned a living as a pavement artist and construction worker, returning to Berlin in 1960.

During the 1970s and early 1980s, John was cast by director Rainer Werner Fassbinder in several of his projects, in particular as Reinhold in the Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980) miniseries. He was internationally known for his portrayal of General Arkady Ourumov in the James Bond film GoldenEye (1995) and Julius Caesar in Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar (1999).

For many years, he lived in Kelmis, Belgium, just over the border from Aachen, Germany, until 2008. John then lived with his wife, Brigitte, in Utting am Ammersee, near Munich, Germany, from 2008 until his death. On 1 September 2014, it was announced that John had died in Utting am Ammersee of cancer aged 72.
