    Okay I'm going to go with a real toughie. Hopefully it's not too hard. :-ss

    Who is the actor who has appeared in five different James Bond films as different characters?

    A clue to assist is that these characters are very minor.
    The name of the actor, and the five films he appears in please.

    I have a feeling I know who it is. I have researched and found four appearances in four seperate films as different characters.
    Sooo, no point announcing it until I find the fifth appearance. Double damnation.

    Man I'm struggling with this..... got the feeling I'll be kicking myself too.... at first I thought Shane Rimmer, then Walter Gottell, and in desperation started counting the Michael G Wilson cameos.... Damn you Benny, you fiend!!!

    Wow, this answer has either gone completely gone over my head or it really is that difficult.

    I'm going have a think about this - after I take a Uni exam in a couple of hours...

    You've got an exam in 2 hours, and still you lurk around here. That's dedication

    Ha, yeah! Still, I think it went really well, so bring on the next one!

    And @jaguar007 may just have it, though I didn't have a clue and couldn't come up with an answer - even during the exam. For this question that is. :-))

    I'm afraid no-one has it so far.
    This actors work within the Bond series really is small, yet his biggest role probably came with one of the biggest Bonds of the seventies. ;-)

    How about George Leech
    Goldfinger - Man in Bulletproof Vest at Q Branch
    Thunderball - Disco Volante Crewman
    OHMSS - SPECTRE agent (Bond strangled)
    TSWLM - Cortina Gunman
    FYEO - Henchman Shark Victim

    That was who I had in mind when I posted earlier. I didn't have GF though.

    I was thinking of Shane Rimmer, though he only appeared in three that I know of: You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.

    As I said, this is a real toughie.
    A few clues. This actors biggest role was in TSWLM and he was reportedly a good friend of the producer.

    I'm sticking with Rimmer then. It must be him. I'll try to come up with the other two films...

    Did they play one of the men who Bond beat up at the pyramids?

    I'm annoyed I can't figure out the "good friend of the producer" clue.

    Maybe I should brush up on my The Spy Who Loved Me knowledge.

    Bit of a wayward clue but it might help.

    If it were a 70's disaster movie this actors double would surely be involved.

    Nadim Sawalha?
    We're looking for a very minor part from an actor who has appeared in five Bond films.
    I did say it was a toughie.

    A new clue.
    In one of the films this actor appears in, not everything is as visible as he'd hoped.

    Norman Burton from The Towering Inferno? God, I'm running around like a headless chicken!

    Could it be the strange man who sees Bond do something unlikely and looks at his drink...appeared in TSWLM, MR and FYEO, was he in any others?
  • BennyBenny Shaken not stirredAdministrator, Moderator

    Still no-one has it.
    Maybe this one really is too tough. :-ss

    Think George Kennedy

    I think you have stumped us all. Can you tell us if it is someone who is part of the stunt team?

    I think it's probably too difficult.
    Using a very very minor actor who appeared in five Bond films, but is not known is asking a little to much.
    Therefore I will post the answer, and pose a new question.

    The actor is Lenny Rabin
    He appeared in :
    GF - Gangster
    OHMSS - Casino guest
    TSWLM - Stromberg crew ("Sir. The monitors faded.")
    FYEO - Ski spectator (appears in the lift of the ski jump)
    OP - Bidder at Sothebys auction

    Okay a slightly friendlier question
    What was the original title of the fourteenth Bond film, what was one of the suggested plots, and who was considered / rumoured for the villains role?

    And if that's to hard I give up. ;-)

    Benny, how did you know of this Lenny Rabin? I'm intrigued.

    As for the new question, one part has me stumped so I'll let someone else answer. :)

    I think the suggested plot was something about diverting Halley's Comet and David Bowie was asked to play Max Zorin but I really have no idea about the original title I'll just opt for 'From A view To A Kill' though I wager it may be something more original than that!

    Diverting Halley's Comet! Of course. Ahhh! I'm convinced I'm losing my mind...

    As for the other answers I agree with you @saunders.

    Yep, sounds plausible.
