Anthony Starke as Truman-Lodge in ‘Licence to Kill’.

Truman-Lodge is Franz Sanchez’s financial advisor, a fugitive from the United States following insider dealing on Wall Street. A wizard with digits in all senses, he displays considerable skill at prestidigitation while recalculating the drug lord’s vast illgotten income. He is always at his employer’s side and becomes increasingly more alarmed at Sanchez’s recklessness, despairing at the expensive destruction of the cocaine distribution centre at the end of the film.

When he sarcastically congratulates Sanchez on “another eighty million dollar write-off” the drug lord – made suspicious by Bond’s machinations – decides to start “cutting overhead” and shoots him with a MAC-11, being sure to remove the briefcase containing the $500 million bearer bonds from Truman-Lodge’s dead hands before leaving his body at the side of the road.
