20 Actors Who Died In 2020
5. Michael Lonsdale
British-French actor Michael Lonsdale appeared in over 200 movies and TV shows throughout his six-decade career, yet his most statuesque performance is easily that of endlessly quotable Bond villain Hugo Drax in Moonraker.
Beyond his tussle with 007, Lonsdale is also well known for playing detective Claude Lebel in The Day of the Jackal and M. Dupont d'Ivry in The Remains of the Day.
In his later career he appeared in Ronin and Munich, and in 2011 received a César Award for Best Supporting Actor for his superb performance in the French drama film Of Gods and Men.
Lonsdale died of undisclosed causes on September 21 at the age of 89.
