Bond villain from Timothy Dalton's first outing, The Living Daylights, who then made it into 007 popular culture by returning as CIA operative Jack Wade, in two Brosnan Bond flicks.

From zero to hero almost.

Only really remember him in Cape Fear and Bond.

Decent character actor.

I remember him Edge of Darkness - the original TV series. He was excellent in that (as were all the cast)

Loved "Edge Of Darkness" when it came out. One of the first "grown up" TV series I got into as a teenager.

Recommend 'Charlie Varrick'. A classic 70s noir crime with Walter Matthau and John Vernon. Cracking movie.
