Best known as iconic Bond henchman Baron Samedi from Live and Let Die, actor Geoffrey Holder has passed away from complication due to Pneumonia. Born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, in 1930, Holder was a star of stage and screen, and began his big screen acting career in 1962's All Night Long. While he will be best known as Baron Samedi (with his creepy face paint and top hat, he will always be my favorite Bond henchman after Jaws, the recently departed Richard Kiel), he also used his deep voice and 6'6" frame to make an impression as Punjab in Annie and The Narrator in Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remake. The thoughts of everybody here at The Movie Bit are with his friends and family during this tragic time.
