Poll: Best Blofeld
Poll: Best Blofeld
Couldn't figure out how to post a poll, so I'll just use the copy, paste and highlight method instead. Who was your favourite of the five actors to play Blofeld, excluding those who were only partially seen?
Donald Pleasance (YOLT)
Telly Savalas (OHMSS)
Charles Gray (DAF)
John Hollis (FYEO)
Max Von Sydow (NSNA)
My vote goes to Pleasance.

this is a tough call. I love Donald Pleasance, and his Blofeld had a brilliant creepiness, but it's also what Mike Myers found a goldmine of comedy material from.
So I'm gonna have to say Telly Savalas, since I enjoyed the way Blofeld was elegant, yet had a dark and rough interior.
Charles Grey never really fit to me, and Sydow is one of my alltime favorite actors, but in one of my least favorite Bond films.

Agreed, a much more formidable nemesis for James Bond needs to be threatening and show he could even DO something other than sit down and stroke his cat.Captain Nash wrote:Telly Savalas by a long shot.
All the others were either too camp, to old or looked to feeble.
Savalas was not perfect by a mile, but at least he posed some threat to Bond.

Can the For Your Eyes Only "Blofeld" count. I think C.Broccoli had been at the brandy and should have been stopped - but he's in charge! A delecatessen in stainless steel indeed.
I'll go for Donald Pleasance.
- What if the dispute had not happened - would Roger Moore have had some Blofelds? Or are Drax and Stromberg's Blofelds in all but name?

Dunno about Drax, but certainly Stromberg was. Early drafts of the script had Blofeld as the villain, but the threat of legal action forced EON to change him to Stromberg.Capt.

It's a draw between OHMSS and YOLT Blofelds. Both fit their films.
Pleasance was more campy, and for that reason fun to watch. Yes, I love his classic, "Kill Bond -- NOW!"
Savalas was more realistic. But he also had his camp moments :
waving his cigarette like a movie Nazi, hamming with Diana Rigg "So poetic a pleasure...." He was closer to the novels, physically able to match Bond. Skiing : "Head him off at the precipice." It's interesting that he didn't have the usual Bond-villain voice of doom accent, but an American one.
