Every James Bond Henchmen Ranked

22. Professor Dent - Dr No

Adolph Gettler James Bond
United Artists

A geologist working for Dr No (Joseph Wiseman), Professor RJ Dent (Anthony Dawson) is pretty much the main henchman of the film. That makes him the first major henchman in a Bond movie.

So, how does he stack up?

He's a fairly whatever character and overall forgettable, but he's pleasingly believable, Anthony Dawson sells the character's cowardly, flustered nature very well and his death scene ("It's a Smith & Wesson and you've had your six.") is excellent. Therefore, he's a mid-tier henchman.
