Not all of them fluently (I watched Gavin & Stacey's Ruth Jones struggle with it on a TV interview) but they'll have some grasp of the language, as lessons are still compulsory in Welsh schools.
No, Michael Fassbender's German is rather shaky, he admits as much: he grew up in Ireland not speaking much German. In Inglorious Basterds he had to really practice his German hard
His German is like Meryl Streeps German in Sophies Choice. Technically close to perfect but one can tell they don't speak German apart from the phrases they had to learn.
Sandra Bullock however speaks fluently (and very charmingly) German. Her German is extremely good and she also understands everything. Her mother was German. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQlm29I5GVE
