Favorite Minor Characters from Each Film

The minor characters lend Bond films much of their flavor, and are often key agents--so to speak--of humor. Some films (DAF) are better than others (AVTAK) in this area, but I think they all have at least one appealing minor character. Here are my favorite minor characters from each Bond film.

I too am a Slumber man. It was painful to leave him off my list, but Plenty has really come up in my world.

There are too many to mention in DAF. Not only Wint and Kidd, but Shady Tree, Willard Whyte, Dr. Metz, even Saxby and Peter Franks.

LTK has a bevy of interesting supporting characters as well

Also--The Carnival Barker ("C'mon kid, will ya' give it a rest!"), The Sideshow Barker ("Vee vill now resurrect Zambora from her transcendental state!"), and The Craps Dealer ("Ladies are lucky." "The lady crapped out.")

From LTK--The Barrelhead Waitress, Truman-Lodge, Kwang, Dario's Barrelhead Thug Buddy, Perez and Senor Montelongo

I don't consider Orlov to be a minor character. Besides, he is one of the two main villains.

I consider Kemal Khan to be clearly the primary villain in OP, and Orlov to be a secondary villain. I don't know if he's 'minor,' but I don't consider him major either.

Changed my OP choice to Magda, for obvious reasons.

Kristina Wayborn had nice tits, but her alien forehead gave me the creeps. Looks like she's going bald.

I do not mind if she would go bold, as long as she is not bold at the moment ;)

Baldness can be very appealing on certain parts of the feminine physiognomy.

I agree, however, that Wayborn had an odd look about her. So did Babs Bach. And that's putting it charitably.
