#1  His father was known to American audiences as playing the rather randy head of Turkish Intelligence, assisting James Bond in From Russia With Love. Unfortunately, though he had rave reviews, it was his last role before he died.

During the production, he discovered that he had terminal cancer, and the shooting schedule was changed to film his scenes while he was still physically able. This was to insure that his family would get his pay from the role.
