 A stuntman was originally going to play the role of The Imposter,  the Russian assassin in Gibraltar at the beginning, but after  watching rushes, director John Glen (II) (qv) decided that they  needed a real actor for the part and it was given to  Carl Rigg (qv). At the time, Rigg was out of work and staying  home, taking care of his baby while his wife was away on business.  Upon getting the call, Rigg left the baby with a neighbor, left his  wife a note telling her hed gone to be in a James Bond movie, and  caught the next plane to Gibraltar to start filming.
