Scottish actor Anthony Dawson was well-known for his portrayals of villainous characters and he played two in the early years of James Bond, but was only credited for one of these roles.

In Dr No, he plays henchman Professor Dent, who Bond memorably dispatches after quipping "It's a Smith & Weesson and you've had your six."

After playing that character, he would go on to appear twice as none other than Ernst Stavro Blofeld in From Russia with Love and then Thunderball. He isn't clearly seen or named though, and he just played the character physically while Erich Pollmann voiced Blofeld.
