Odd Job Got A Job

[Brian Moore]

He Lives!

Spotted him in Downtown LA. He works in this clothing store. Wears gold-rimmed sunglasses (Gee,...wonder who he got those from?) to hide his identity. (But I knew him from his hat straight away.) I skeedaddled soon after snapping this fotie lest that hat come in my direction.

Olympus XA3 and expired Kodak BW400 (C41) film.

Excellent Brian and well spotted. Is that also Jaws in the foreground trying to pick up a bargain?

I think mentioned this in another post but I met the actor who played Oddjob. He used to haunt the bar at the BBC's Bush House where he worked for the World Service I believe (I had a friend who worked there and we used to meet up in the bar). If you made the mistake of starting a conversation he would 'entertain' you with several hours of anecdotes about his time in a Bond movie.

Thank you, Pete. Don't know if that's Jaws. If I'm not mistaken he was a heavy from the Roger Moore era; I can't be bothered with those chaps.

I wasn't aware you'd met the odd fellow. Was he Korean? Perhaps he was a translated for the Beeb?

Thanks again, Pete.

Harold Sakata. Hawaiian of Japanese descent it seems. No idea what he did at the BBC though. Maybe he just haunted the bar! I'll ask my friend if he can recall.

Very funny, Brian. It does look like how he might look now.

I think the Korean reference is from the film then,...I think Oddjob was a Korean. Thanks, Pete.
