Biography
Peter Brace was a British film actor and stunt performer who worked alongside actors like Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Richard Burton and Michael Caine in a career that lasted nearly half a century and took in more than 100 credits on the big and small screen. Brace was born at Southwark in south-east London. He made his film debut at the age of 23 in Ken Annakin's Holiday Camp (1947). His name was unfamiliar to the general public, but his face and size (6 ft 4 in tall) made him instantly recognizable. He was a stunt performer and minor actor in the following James Bond films: Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Casino Royale (1967) and You Only Live Twice (1967). He also acted and did stunt work in films such as Ivanhoe (1952), A Night to Remember (1958), Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Where Eagles Dare (1968), Star Wars (1977), Flash Gordon (1980), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Highlander (1986), Willow (1988), Batman (1989), Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991), Chaplin (1992) and Braveheart (1995).
