PRIMO

Part man, part machine, Primo (above), played by Dali Benssalah, will be a memorable Bond henchman. He has a distinctive look, with a robotic eye. The producers loved what the actor did with the role so much that they decided to extend his scenes. ‘I think of Primo as an action guy, a kind of war dog,’ says FrenchAlgerian actor and former Thai boxing champion Dali. ‘He’s a mercenary just looking for a reason to fight. He was born and raised on the dark side, as it were, so he’s a baddie by loyalty.’
