Clifton James
Born this day in 1921
JW Pepper in Live and Let Die, The Man with the Golden
Gun
He may have mastered a southern drawl, but George Clifton
James was born in Spokane, Washington and graduated from the University of
Oregon as well as the Actors Studio. James served 3 ½ year in the South Pacific
theatre of World War II and he is a decorated veteran, which includes the
Purple Heart, Presidential Unit Citation, among others.
James may be able to point his repeated portrayals of law
enforcement characters as having started with The Phil Silvers Show in which he appeared as a State Trooper and a
Sergeant in two separate episodes in 1957. In fact, I counted almost twenty
roles, including the two Bond films! He has 100 acting credits to his name and
at the age of 93, he is still making periodic appearances.
Neville Jason
Born this day in 1934
Kerim’s Chauffeur in From Russia With Love
English actor Neville Jason made his acting debut as Paolo
in the television series Sword of Freedom
back in 1957. The same year, he played Publius in “Titus Andronicus” at the
Stoll Theatre in London. Most of his appearances over the years has been on the
small screen, however he was cast in a handful of feature films including From
Russia With Love (1963). More recently, he
has lent his voice to video games including Venetica (2009), a beautifully drawn fantasy role-playing
game set in the 16th century.
