The Odd Stars of the Future that pop up in Bond movies

ExpatJB

There are lots of 'faces' that appear in Bond movies very early, and anonymously, in their careers.

I was watching Tomorrow Never Dies in some far flung place the other day and noticed Gerard Butler have one line as the radar guy in the ship at the beginning, for example. Cant miss the weegie accent, even though he does look about 12. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAVsaCsMsmI

It made me wonder how many other stars lurk rather quietly in Bond bit parts. A lot of Brits no doubt.

Any others spring to mind? ?:)

I suppose Charles Dance from FYEO, Mini Driver Goldeneye and Joanna Lumley from OHMSS. and of course Benicio del Toro from LTK, spring to mind but I'm sure there are many more.

The Domino Effect

I never noticed/knew Gerard Butler in TND, but now that you mention it, he hasn't changed much apart from shaving and his voice dropping a bit! Well spotted.

Future action movie star Dolph Lundgren has a small part as one of General Gogol's men in AVTAK.

Must be a big part surely? He's huge. ) I wonder if he got that through his then girlfriend?

On Huge parts, I used to love the old trivial pursuits question,
"who was the Biggest dick on screen ?, ...................................... Moby Dick ! " )

One I always thought I'd noticed has been confirmed by imdb.

Richard Marner, who played the portly, rumbustious Colonel von Strohm in the Brit comedy Allo Allo, was an uncredited Russian space technician (doing the countdown type annoucements) in YOLT.

Could I be really Bitchy here ans suggest Daniel Craig as many had never heard of him before Bond and of course Sir Sean another unknown at the time. )
