no. no he did not.

he was one of the "outside Eon canon" Bond films, Never Say Never Again (which I do enjoy!)

I'll always remember him as the commander of the special forces in Spies Like Us

And a poet, actually. I just now found out that he was a painter too, and had a masters in Fine Arts from Bowling Green. Probably a hell of an interesting man to have over to dinner.

I think he did the talk show circuit way back, either when he was still with the Rams or shortly after.

Not exactly. Too small to play OL.
