Michael G. Wilson
Soldier (Uncredited)
Wilson has also revealed that he cameoed as one of Goldfinger’s soldiers that gets off the truck at Fort Knox, although the exact character is not revealed. If I had to guess, since most of Goldfinger’s soldiers were of Asian decent and relatively short in height, Wilson appears to stick out like a sore thumb in this shot. I could be wrong though, so e-mail me if you have any info.

In 1983, McClory produced the unofficial James Bond movie Never Say Never Again, starring Sean Connery as James Bond.
