British stuntman Richard Graydon, who performed in 10 James Bond films died at the age of 92 on December 22, reported the Telegraph. He is survived by his wife, Hermione Bedford. The couple did not have children.
Mr Graydon's first screen credit was in 1952, as one of Robin Hood's 'merrie men' in the Disney film The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men.
His stunt career started in 1963 with From Russia With Love. It was followed by Goldfinger (1964) and Thunderball in 1965.
His work occasionally required performing death-defying feats, like getting shot out of a cannon in Octopussy's' circus, sliding down a chain to an aerial tram dangling over an abyss in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and fighting Jaws atop an aerial tram hundreds of feet above Rio de Janeiro for Moonraker.
