Yes we know he is the ultimate Bond villain and that 7UP is the “Uncola,” but did you know that Holder also had roles in such memorable comedy films as Woody Allen’s Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) (1972) and Eddie Murphy’s Boomerang, and was the narrator’s voice in Tim Burton’s Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (2005)?
