Default CRAZY BALDHEADS!

I'm probably going to regret this, but while I was searching online for pictures of Simon Templar's Volvo (which I think rates only just below JB's Aston Martin DB5) I was also wondering what the name was of that baldheaded bloke who always cropped up as a villain back then, also in things like "Danger Man". And yes, his head was an egg.

A bald man on TV or in film back then, unless his name was Yul Brynner, was always a villain... not so now, is it? Who was that bloke (and no, I don't mean Brian Glover)

I remember thinking, as a kid, "He looks like a baby, so why is he so horrible?"

Donald Pleasence? awesome actor, made a fantastic Blofeld in You Only Live Twice.



Here, have a look through the cast-list, see if any heads jump out:

Pretty interesting how many actors/actresses from Danger Man went on to be in James Bond films, and look, there's even the brilliant Nigel Green who played my favourite character in Zulu:

Mr. Bigglesworth is bald. Not sure if he made anything though.

Doctor Evil' Mini Me

I know he's not the guy you're looking for but, it's funny.

What is it about evil antagonists and their aversion to hair?

No, he's WAY crazier than Mr Bigglesworth, though I DO remember he had rather pointy ears. When we finally come up with a photo of him you'll see what I mean...

No, not Mini Me either.

I always thought it was something to do with not being able to get hold of their heads during a fight. When I was a kid the "bad" wrestlers always had crazy bald heads which looked quite hard to keep a hold of.

Anyway, Oberon, you should be looking out for those Lancasters which flew South from here in your direction earlier this afternoon, not mucking about here with bald men. Visit the "what are you doing in real-life" thread for more...

No, but this was a very good try: I found a picture of this guy too, whilst searching through Danger Man, The Saint and The Prisoner earlier. I'm pretty sure now the crazy baldhead I'm looking for turned up in the latter as well (I can see him in a dark blazer with a white crew-neck jersey).

They seemed to alternate between the bald guy and Bert Kwouk for villainy,
but he's another bowl of noodles...
