John Strangways is a fictional character created by Ian Fleming in the James Bond universe.

[edit] Novel biography

In the James Bond novels he is a former Lieutenant-Commander in the special branch of the RNVR. He makes his first appearance in the novel Live and Let Die as the chief Secret Service agent in the Caribbean. Strangways is roughly 35 years of age and wears a black patch over one eye. He later appears in the novel Dr. No where he and his secretary, Mary Trueblood, are assassinated for prying into Dr. Julius No's business.

[edit] Film biography

In the James Bond films, Strangways makes his first and only appearance in Dr. No where, as in the novel, he is killed for investigating Dr. No by the Three Blind Mice after leaving a gentlemans club in Jamaica. Contrary to the novel, Strangways does not wear an eye patch in film.

He is portrayed in Dr. No by Tim Moxon. Moxon's voice was dubbed by Robert Rietty.
