Alexander Grand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexander Grand is an actor who appeared in a number of Hong Kong martial arts films throughout the 1970s and 1980s. According to IMDB, his first roles were as an extra in Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury, as well as The Unicorn Fist, for which Lee choreographed the martial arts fight scenes.
After Bruce Lee's death, Alexander Grand appeared as an extra in several Bruceploitation films, including Bruce vs. Bill and Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth (A/K/A Bruce Lee: True Story). His most notable role was in The Dragon Lives Again, where he joined the distinguished company of such actors as Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan by playing secret agent 007 James Bond. (Of course, the use of the character was not authorized by Bond's copyright holders). In this film, he was credited as "Champion-boxer of Europe," which implies that he was probably a martial artist of some skill.
Alexander Grand has apparently not acted in a film since 1981's Bruce vs. Bill.
