10 Weirdest Cameos In James Bond Movies
8. Oliver Skeete – Die Another Day
The story of Oliver Skeete is quite the British tale of success.
His fame began as a showjumper before turning to the little screen as a reality show contestant and actor. After his modest showjumping achievements, where he achieved fame as being a black competitor in a very white middle-class sport, the dreadlocked West London lad starred in shows such as Brainiac: Science Abuse, Celebrity Wrestling, Diet Doctors, and The All-Star Talent Show.
As for his acting career, Skeete was going to star in a film called Clubbing To Death in 2008 starring alongside Craig Charles and ex-west end gangster Dave Courtney. The film was to be directed by Lee Philips, producer of The Dealer and the All-Nighter. Unfortunately, however, that film never got made, and Oliver Skeete never tried to act in anything else after that leaving the world of TV and film behind.
But Oliver Skeete can be seen in Die Another Day, delivering James Bond the key to the underground offices of MI6 as he leaves the fencing club.
As of 2010 Oliver Skeete became a lorry driver. Still, Die Another Day marks his first, and only, film role.
