    Sorry, it's not Dikko. Yeah some of my clues are pretty specific. Now that I think about it, Clue 1 is probably more obscure than I had originally figured, and of course Clue 3 would probably only help if you thought you had the character down and double-checked the film to find out. Take "snow" at face value. The "little bird" is slightly more figurative. I'll post a couple of hopefully more helpful clues tomorrow.

    Two more clues:

    1. I don't make love to a woman in my film, believe it or not.
    2. There's something Lynchian about the place I meet my demise.
    3. I sport the surname of an actress who played one of 007's femme fatales on my attire.
    4. My death might look familiar.
    5. I'm at home in the snow, but I'm no Santa.

    6. Bond gives me a slap on the wrist.
    7. Mind if I join?
    8. A little bird told me where to find you.
    9. I'm a skilled motorist over multiple types of terrain.
    10. For me it truly was death for breakfast.



    Who it's not:

    Dominic Greene
    Kananga
    Alec Trevelyan
    Renard
    General Medrano
    Mr. Kill
    Kristatos
    Dikko Henderson
    Eric Kriegler
    Blofeld
    Emile Locque

    11. I don't mean to be that kind of person, but I had to cut in line.
    12. First I interrupted Bond's date, then I myself was interrupted—permanently.

    I really didn't think I was going to stump so hard with this character. Here's another clue that will hopefully help:
    13. Apparently I could pass for Ian Fleming himself.

    Count Lippe?

    I always thought Fanning looked just like Fleming too, but it's neither Fanning nor Count Lippe.

    14. I pulled off a pretty stunning physical feat.

    Claus?

    We have a winner! Yes, the answer is Claus, Locque's right-hand man played by the one and only Charles Dance in For Your Eyes Only.

    How I came by the clues:

    1. I don't make love to a woman in my film, believe it or not.
    [An awfully obscure one; I was hoping the "believe it or not" would lead you to Ripley and Alien 3, where Charles Dance's character makes love to the alien-battling heroine.]

    2. There's something Lynchian about the place I meet my demise.
    [Claus dies on top of a "DUNE" buggy amidst the dunes of the beach.]

    3. I sport the surname of an actress who played one of 007's femme fatales on my attire.
    [In a brief shot as he approaches the ski jump, you can clearly see "CARRERA" written on the band of Claus's ski goggles.]

    4. My death might look familiar.
    [Claus dies by a harpoon in the back while threatening Bond with a gun (much like Emilio Largo before him).]

    5. I'm at home in the snow, but I'm no Santa.
    [Claus is skilled at skiing and driving a motorcycle in the snow.]

    6. Bond gives me a slap on the wrist.
    [When Claus tries to shoot Bond, Bond jumps in the air, spins, and whacks him on the wrist with his ski.]

    7. Mind if I join?
    [Claus joins Bond on the ski jump.]

    8. A little bird told me where to find you.
    [Bond is pointed out in the crowd to Claus by Locque, who is posing as an underling of "The Dove."]

    9. I'm a skilled motorist over multiple types of terrain.
    [Claus is skilled at driving a motorcycle in the snow and a dune buggy in the sand.]

    10. For me it truly was death for breakfast.
    [Claus dies in the morning ("I was rather hoping for breakfast..."]

    11. I don't mean to be that kind of person, but I had to cut in line.
    [He cuts in line at the ski jump.]

    12. First I interrupted Bond's date, then I myself was interrupted—permanently.
    [He is in the midst of saying his only line in the film to order Bond into Locque's dune buggy when he's speared in the back.]

    13. Apparently I could pass for Ian Fleming himself.
    [Charles Dance later played Ian Fleming in the TV movie Goldeneye.]

    14. I pulled off a pretty stunning physical feat.
    [Claus lands his ski jump perfectly, right before Bond knocks him flat in the snow.]

    Congratulations, @Ed83! Looking forward to your next character!

    Nice work on the clues SKOH! I didn't really get on track until the Fleming clue. I'll work on a new character shortly.

    Tok, would you mind taking this round? I've been swamped this week.

    I don't mind waiting a while, I was just prompting you in case you'd forgotten. It's your turn really but I don't mind either way.

    You can go for it. I apologize for the delay, it slipped my mind. I'll make it up on a future round.

    OK here we go then. A named character in an official film with a speaking role...

    Clues:

    1. The return on my long-term investment was agonisingly close.

    2. A previous and a future villain made the same decision as me.

    Ok, first guess:

    Drax?

    (And by the way, your avatar is scaring me ...)

    And yes, this seems to happen about this time every year ;-)

    One more to keep you going:

    Clues:

    1. The return on my long-term investment was agonisingly close.

    2. A previous and a future villain made the same decision as me.

    3. I was the recipient of some bad-tempered and entirely gratuitous violence.

    Incorrect:

    Drax
    Zorin
