Joseph Wiseman(1918-2009)

He had mixed feelings about his role as the title character in El satánico Dr. No (1962). He preferred to be remembered for his theater career. However, he was proud to be the first of the many actors who have played a main James Bond villain.

[on his most famous role and film, El satánico Dr. No (1962)] I had no idea what I was letting myself in for. I had no idea it would achieve the success it did. I know nothing about mysteries. I don't take to them. As far as I was concerned, I thought it might be just another Grade-B Charlie Chan mystery.
