BOND 22 Henchman found

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

Commander Bond that Swiss actor Anatole Taubmann has been cast as the henchman of next year's feature. The actor made the announcement himself to the Swiss media...

"James Bond - that€™s like playing the Champions League. For a European actor, this is like a gold ticket. There€™s nothing better. I€™m very happy."

They couldn't get anymore out of Taubmann but he did mention he had a personal trainer, which would indicate a large amount of physicality for the part. Taubmann turns 36 in a few short weeks and has been acting for around ten years, though you probably won't have seen him in much. He was briefly in the great mini series BAND OF BROTHERS and had the esteemed part of 'cemetery technician' in EQUILIBRIUM. But secondary Bond villains are all about their look, their accent and their overall presence. Hopefully this guy will bring all that to the table.
