Michael Lonsdale, the British-French actor who starred opposite Roger Moore as the villain Hugo Drax in the 1979 James Bond film "Moonraker," died on Monday (Sept. 21). He was 87.
From producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli (via Twitter):
We are very sad to learn of the passing of Michael Lonsdale, who played Hugo Drax in Moonraker. He was an extraordinarily talented actor and a very dear friend. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.

"At least I shall have the pleasure of putting you out of my misery."
One of the best Bond lines ever...

"Care for a cucumber sandwich, Mr. Bond?" For some reason, that is one of favorite lines of his from that Bond flick!

Well, that proves the actor - as opposed to the character - had a sense of humor!
