Subject Author Date Ouch this one hurts. Awesome Bond villain, best PD Captain in TV's "Homicide: Life on the Street", but apart of a great film ensemble in 1979 classic ALIEN. Castmate John Hurt and Harry Dean Stanton died 9 months apart in 2017, now Ian Holm died 9 months apart from Kotto in 2020/2021. -RIP ... Cast pic Monday, March 15, 10:46:58pm That is a big one - sorry to hear. Made some wonderful movies. (NT) You knew you would see good acting if he was in a production. Tuesday, March 16, 06:43:38am Imdb -- ', Tuesday, March 16, 11:58:25am Kotto appeared on "The High Chaparral" in 1968 with, yep, Henry Darrow -- Episode "The Buffalo Soldiers " aired Nov. 22, 1968, Tuesday, March 16, 01:51:22pm damn big fan! Loved him in Alien! (NT) -- Colt, Tuesday, March 16, 04:36:44pm Murder She Wrote! (NT) -- Colt, Tuesday, March 16, 09:36:53pm FUN FACT: Kotto turned down the role of 'Lando Calrissian' in "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back" (1980), fearing that Lando would be killed in the movie, and that he would be forever typecast. (NT) The role went to Billy Dee Williams. Saturday, March 27, 01:17:33am FUN FACT: With the deaths actor Kotto and Michael Lonsdale (September 2020) who played Bond villain 'Hugo Drax', leaving only actors Julian Glover ('Aristotle Kristatos' in/"For Your Eyes Only"), Steven Berkoff ('General Orlov'/"Octopussy"), and Christopher Walken ('Max Zorin'/"A View to a Kill") as last surviving villains from 007 Golden age from 1962-1985! (NT) -- RIP, Saturday, March 27, 01:39:42am "A View to a Kill" is decidedly non-Golden (NT) -- That movie stunk!, Saturday, March 27, 10:04:11am I agree. "A View to a Kill" with Walken as psychopathic industrialist 'Max Zorin' was pretty stinko. -- But the theme song "A View to a Kill", written by John Barry and Duran Duran, was pretty catchy!, Saturday, March 27, 10:47:42am
