Marc Lawrence – "Volnoth" and "Zeemo" – Remembered

Marc Lawrence, a character actor who played two guest roles on Star Trek, died on Sunday of natural causes at the age of 95.

With his piercing eyes, pockmarked face and brooding air, Lawrence was a go-to guy for gangster roles in Hollywood, from Edward G. Robinson's henchman Ziggy in "Key Largo" in 1948, to mafia kingpin Carlo Gambino in HBO's "Gotti" in 1996.

This reputation preceded him as he was cast to play holographic mob boss "Carl Zeemo" in Deep Space Nine's "Badda-Bing Badda-Bang." Lawrence was 89 at the time, and that was one of his final appearances.

About ten years prior, Lawrence was in The Next Generation's "The Vengeance Factor" as "Volnoth," an Acamarian Gatherer who was murdered by a vengeful Yuta.

One of Lawrence's most memorable lines over his seven-decade career was as an unnamed character in the 1971 James Bond film "Diamonds are Forever." He was the Slumber Inc. henchman who tossed Plenty O'Toole (Lana Wood) through a high-rise hotel window into a pool. Looking out of the window, Sean Connery says, "Exceptionally fine shot." A deadpan Lawrence responds, "I didn't know it was a pool down there."

According to LATimes.com, Lawrence once said that "being a tough guy is easy. You just give them this hard look and yell, 'Hey, you, get over here!' and nobody bothers you." Follow the link below for the full obituary.
