Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd were the most disturbing Bond villains I'd ever seen when that movie came out.

Probably my 2nd favorite Bond movie behind ‘Live and Let Die’. Didn’t know he was Crispin Glover’s dad but looking back how could he not be?

Bert Saxby? Tell him he’s fired!

In 1971, Glover and jazz musician Putter Smith portrayed the first gay characters,
assassins Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd, in the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever.

The movie had an incredibly underrated car chase scene in Vegas as well.

I remember him. He was in “Hard Times” with James Coburn, Charles Bronson and Strother Martin. He was also in the first “Walking Tall” movie. Solid character actor.

Good character actor. He was in the Joe Don Baker Walking Tall and played one of Jack Nicholson's associates in Chinatown. Ninety-two is a good run. RIP.
