The only main black villain in the James Bond movie series.
Too bad you can't have that anymore, with all of the woke stuff going on now.
RIP.

Right, I forgot about Mr. Holder. Thanks.
But do you think they really would have a movie of black villains against James Bond these days?

Wasn’t he the 7-Up guy in the commercials? The un-cola.

No, that was Geoffrey Holder. Yaphet Kotto played Mr. Big /Dr. Kananga. He also was in The Running Man.

As Special Agent Alonzo Mosley in Midnight Run
To: PallMal
Mostly familiar with his work on Homicide:Life on the Streets. It was one of the best written shows for it's time.
To: Tuxedo
Geoffrey Holder and Yaphet Kotto played bad guys in "Live and Let Die".
I only remembered Kotto, but forgot about Holder in that movie also.
Looking back, there were other black henchmen in the movie, like the guy with the steel-clawed hand.

I really enjoyed that movie. It’s so 80s though, smoking on planes, a black guy not always the smartest one in the scene.

He was great on homicide life on the streets but to me he will
Always be the guy from Alien asking about the Bonus situation. I could really relate to that character
To: PallMal
Heck of a good actor. He never phoned it in.
