If you can spare the time it would be appreciated if you could translate the entire conversation and post it here. I could but I can't spare the time myself. Otherwise, this thread has little purpose being a thread of its own. Thank you. ;-)
I love when he says that he still has contact with Dalton, MGW, Babs, d'Abo, ...
Apparently, he once talked (jokingly no doubt) to Babs about coming back as Koskov (remember: he didn't die in the film as far as we can tell) but he doubts it'll ever happen. ;-)
Krabb'e recently was a guest in the NTR radio show ' Hero's of the past' which themed on James Bond, and in particular, The Living Daylights. In the interview which can be seen here in it's entirety, Krabbe tells he once was in the race of becoming Bond
" My agent, Jeremy Conway suggested, when Pierce Brosnan couldn't play the role, I might be an adequate candidate" tells us Krabbe Bond Blog from his holiday adress in Sardinia. " I believe Barbara [Broccoli] reacted rather laughingly. And rightfully so! I wasn't interested in the role at all - it's always more fun to play the baddy!
Well, it's not a translation, but I worked out the whole interview in text. Try to use a translation applictation. I'm sure it will give you an idea of what they were talking about. ...It was all about Bond of course :) Have fun!

Thanks for the translations all. It's great to here he is much further along than on speaking terms with those involved, unlike some people!
Apparently he's a painter these days.
I'm pleased they spared him at the end of Daylights but must assume that he would be executed by some means when Puskin has him taken away at the end, I hope they just gave him hard labor or something, he didn't really deserve a death sentence, I couldn't even imagine him holding a gun to somebody, sort of gets other people to do his dirty work etc
I wish he had had a bit more menacing scene than "if another agent were to be...eliminated."
and they go through the list of items that Bond got for him, 'that is peasant food to us but with caviar it is Ok' etc, and, 'Bollinger RD, The Best - Superb Mister Bond, Superb'
and M gets agitated and says 'do you mind if we can begin now' etc
It reminds me a bit of when they're playing cards in Casino Royale and LeChiffre gets annoyed at the drinks ordered
and at the end and Pushkin arrives in Tangiers and Koskov is 'saved' and does his thing again and starts hugging etc General Pushkin, 'Oh thank you, Oh thank you'
Pushkin - 'In the diplomatic bag'
and Koskov pulls this face and is hurried off screen, he was a great comedy character
He was so likable in TLD but in that Richard Gere, Kim Bassinger film "No Mercy" he played a brutal gang leader set in the Bayous. He was quite nasty.
It has always been my conviction that they picked the wrong Dutch actor to be baddie, they should have gone for Rutger Hauer imho.
