	Miss Moneypenny Played by: Lois Maxwell Description: Miss Moneypenny travels the world with M in Moonraker, operating in both London and Brazil. Despite this, she still has very little screen time.
	James Bond Played by: Roger Moore Description: Making his fourth appearance as James Bond, Roger Moore seems right at home in the role, jumping around the world to investigate and stop Hugo Drax.

	Private Jet Pilot Played by: Jean-Pierre Castaldi Description: This man pilots the private jet in the pre-title sequence.

Jaws and Dolly both survive the explosion.
	Corrine DuFour Played by: Corinne Clery Description: Corrine DuFour is Hugo Drax's private helicopter pilot who picks up Bond when he is visiting Drax in his California mansion.

	Cavendish Played by: Arthur Howard Description: Cavendish is Hugo Drax's personal butler who presents Bond to Drax in his piano room in California.
	Hugo Drax Played by: Michael Lonsdale Description: Hugo Drax is essentially a Stromburg clone, a megalomaniac obsessed with the perfection of mankind and convinced that the near-extinction of the human race is the only way to achieve it.

He meets his end when Bond shoots him with his wrist dart gun and then sucks him into outer space.
