Villiers, James

James Michael Lyle Villiers (September 29, 1933 – January 18, 1998) was a British character actor and a familiar face on British television.

James Villiers as MI6 Chief of Staff Bill Tanner.

Born in London, Villiers was from an upper-class background, related to the Earl of Clarendon, and this was often reflected in the type of roles he played, such as King Charles II in the BBC series, The First Churchills.

He made his film debut in 1958, and appeared in many British films over the years, including Joseph Andrews (1977), Mountains of the Moon (1990), and The Tichborne Claimant (1998). Villiers played Bill Tanner in For Your Eyes Only.
