Locque, the silent, highly regarded assassin henchman of For Your Eyes Only.

The actor who played him - Michael Gothard committed suicide aged 53 by hanging himself in 1992. Does anyone know about the circumstances surrounding his death?

    The actress who played Brink also commited suicide.
    "...the purposeful slant of his striding figure looked dangerous, as if he was making quickly for something bad that was happening further down the street." -SMERSH on 007 dossier photo, Ch. 6 FRWL.....

    Yes that is true, she is called Jill Bennett.

    Herve Villechaize also commited suicide.

    As did Pedro Armendariz, although he was in the final stages of cancer immediately following his work on FRWL.

    What a morbid topic - Bond-related suicides.

    Gothard was a fine actor, played sinister characters all his career.
