The gangster in the pre credits sequence


That is the same guy from diamonds are forever right? Is he supposed to be the same character? Wouldnt be the first time they used the same actor for different roles in this series (maud adams, charles gray, joe don baker) the gangster looked familiar and i really dont wanna sit thru DAF again its my least favorite one

Marc Lawrence played a gangster early in this movie. He played movie gangsters most of his life. He died in 2005 at age 95
and he worked to the last, as far as I know. He had a severe
pock-marked face evidentally from severe acne early in life.
With his face, he's hard to forget.
He had a minor, uncredited role in "Diamonds are Forever".
I hope this helps. By the way, he had a major role in the
movie, "Asphalt Jungle". A good actor.

I was wondering the same thing when I watched it today. I've seen this movie many times over the years. In fact it was the First James Bond movie I saw in the theaters when I was 11 :O wow that makes me feel old. Think I even saw it for my Birthday that year.

He was also the guy who met Johnny Rocco at the hotel in Key Largo for the transaction, I believe the character was called Ziggy.

He was the gangsta from the funeral parlour taking Bond to the crematorium and also saying he didn't know there was a pool when they threw the busty hoe out of the window.
