Kwouk did three Bond films and three episodes of "The Saint".

From the BBC obituary:

Talking about his career after being awarded an OBE for services to drama, the actor said working on the James Bond movies was a special experience.

"Bond movies are always great fun because everything about them is big, expansive, huge - the sets are big, the amounts of money that is spent is huge as well, and the whole thing has a big atmosphere about it. And actors like doing that kind of thing."

...And three episodes of The Avengers.

 

2016 - a year already best forgotten.

 

RIP.

He also was in CR'67 (as a non credited Chinese General).

 

The only actor to star in the two 67 Bonds!

"Cato, ... do not attack!"

 

Thank you, Burt Kwouk, for so many great childhood memories from the Pink Panther movies. 

 

If I ever get two burmese cats, their names will be Odd Job and Cato.
