"Maaaahvaleous!!" Known for directing and designing costumes for The Wiz, a all-black musical retelling of the classic The Wizard of Oz, Geoffrey Holder has just passed at the age of 84. He was also known for starring in such films as James Bond's Live and Let Die, narrating Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and bringing funner commercials for all as a pitchman for the famous 7-Up soft drink.

According to his family's attorney Charles M. Mirotznik, the cause of death began with pneumonia, leading to more complications and ultimately, death. Remember his wife Carmen De Lavallade and their son, Léo in this hard time.





 
Geoffrey Lamont Holder was a Trinidadian actor, choreographer, director, dancer, painter, costume designer, singer and voice-over artist.

Your thumbnail photo and the video are of Mr. Holder. But the main photo you have with the article is of Yaphet Kotto another actor from Live and Let Die.

R.I.P. Geoffrey Holder

Remember his 7-up commercials. He also appeared in "Boomerang" with Eddie Murphy. He had a compelling voice. Rest in Peace, sir.

Never seen any Bond movie prior to Goldeneye, but played Goldeneye religiously enough to make somewhat of a connection...?

Is that Baron Samedi? The voodoo guy that you could only kill with the Golden Gun in the final "bonus" level of Goldeneye 64?
