Aristocrat. Scholar. Swordsman. Spy. Nazi Hunter. Opera Singer. And then... He became a film star.

Overview

Aristocratic Italian roots, a close family connection to James Bond novelist Ian Fleming, wartime experiences in the British and Finnish military, post-war Nazi-hunting adventures and a side career as a heavy metal rock singer. And one of the most iconic actors of all time.
