@Barbel: did you ever see SWASHBUCKLER with Robert Shaw and James Earl Jones? Not a great movie (although I have a lot of affection for it, warts and all) but Holder has a fun role in it.
No, but it sounds good. Did you ever see the video for Elton John's "Passengers"? Holder is there as Baron Samedi.
You said it Barbel, the only Bond baddie who gave me knightmares for several years.
In voice work, he often did softly sounded characters - The narrator of Tim Burton’s Charlie & The Choc Factory.
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

Lower your expectations on SWASHBUCKLER. Robert Shaw is fantastic in it and there are some great moments to be had, but overall the inept direction keeps it all from gelling. Also, Peter Boyle is pretty terrible as the bad guy. If you're in a forgiving mood and want to enjoy Shaw and James Earl Jones having an absolute blast, give it a go.
Adam is an underrated henchman, I think. Second fiddle to Tee Hee, Baron Samedi and maybe even Whisper, but he plays his scenes well. He's like a blaxploitation film character played straight.
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.
Another great Guy Hamilton/Tom Mankiewicz wittily realised action sequence... Mrs Bell and the crashing cars... in the same fun spirit as the car chase in Vegas in DAF

No, I think Dalton would have won her over with his watery eyed sincerity.
Tricked her - probably
Tricked her to take her virginity - neber!
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
Understatement!

Will do. Those are some of my favourite actors

No, definitely not
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
I remember everyone loving it in the packed cinema when this first came out. Mrs Bell's "Holy s-it!" raised the roof
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
I think she does, yes :-)
