James Villiers
Known for
James Villiers is one of the more persistent actors of his generation known to audiences from a long list of titles rather than from one. Among the rest of the work, 'Repulsion' stands out. The trail of credits goes back as far as 1954. If the filmography has a home genre, it is drama. Careers that pass the 72-year mark are a small club. 'For Your Eyes Only' is the entry that tends to open any account of the career.
