So I guess we will never find out what ever happened to Baron Samedi...
Makes me sad to see all these great actors from the Bond films pass away. I always thought he was one of the best henchmen in the series.
Rest in peace

The hits just keep coming! I wish an easy rest to the enigmatic performer that was Geoffrey Holder. Thanks for the memories...

He's sat on the back of the train, hopefully.

R.I.P. Geoffrey Holder.
A great performer and dancer and a great Bond villain.
Thanks man!

They're learning to dance in Calypso Heaven.

Sad news. What a great character he played.

One of my top 5 Bond villains, for sure. RIP Geoffrey... Hope you're enjoying an ice cold 7UP in heaven. I'll pour one out for you.

A multi talented man who created an intriguing Bond villain, and one of my favourite closing images in any Bond film - Baron Samedi on the front of that train, laughing all the way as if to say "Do you really think you've won, Mr Bond?"
RIP.

So sad, another Bond alumni leaves us in the shadow of others.
A brilliant actor, an iconic villain and very memorable!
Such a great bad-guy too for the series and the Roger Moore era as a whole. And that laugh!
RIP Baron

What sad news. Holder was a great presence in LALD, one of my favourite Moore Bond movies. He was also clearly a multi-talented guy in many other ways, not just acting. A real Renaissance man. Check out the obits at the www.MI6hq and www.007info sites.

Sleep easy good sir.

RIP...?
One of the funniest, creepiest henchmen ever. For me he encapsulates LALD, perfectly combining surreal comedy and genuine menace. I'll drink a 7 Up in his honor.

^ Good description. Holder was one of the most memorable characters in the Moore era.
RIP.

By far one of the most memorable characters in the series. The scene where Bond and Solitaire encounter Samedi in the graveyard may be my favorite surreal moment. The character is used perfectly, not too much screen time and enough to keep you wanting more.
Did Geoffrey Holder ever do an interview or discuss his work on LALD? I'd like to know what his thoughts were.

RIP Mr. Holder

R.I.P, wonderful man.
