The James Bond Movie Encyclopedia remembers the late Julius Harris ("Live and Let Die") on the anniversary of his passing.

The James Bond Movie Encyclopedia presents This Day in James Bond History, remembering actor Julius Harris of “Live and Let Die” on the day of his passing in 2004. Harris portrayed one of Kananga’s (Yaphet Kotto) henchmen, Tee Hee – the man with the insidious laugh and the prosthetic pincer arm. You can say whatever you want about the Roger Moore era of Bond films, but there’s no denying that the era featured a wild and outrageous group of villains. Tee Hee lost his arm to a Louisiana crocodile named Old Albert. Later, he escorts Bond to a true nest of crocs at a farm on mythical San Monique, where they’re raised – trapping 007 on an island in their midst. So let’s raise a tall one to one of the first African American players to enter the 007 world and carve a place of his own in it. To Julius. Stay safe. I also want to start referencing my good friend, Anders Frejdh whose From Sweden with Love Site is posting this internationally - https://jamesbond007.se/eng/memoriam/julius_harris_tee_hee_live_and_let_die
