Nick Nack is a fictional character in the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. He was played by French actor Hervé Villechaize.
Nick Nack was an all-round personal assistant to Francisco Scaramanga, acting as butler, housekeeper, and chef (trained at Le Cordon Bleu), as well as a henchman to Scaramanga's criminal activities. After his master's defeat and death, Nick Nack tried to kill Bond and Goodnight on the junk and after a short fight, Bond stuffed him in a suitcase and locked him in a wooden cage.
A distinctive feature of Nick Nack was his height, standing only 1.18 metres (3'11") tall.
Although Nick Nack was very loyal to Scaramanga, at times he would hire other assassins to kill him. Scaramanga tolerated it as a means to practice his skills, but Nick Nack was also the sole heir to Scaramanga's estate; if the assassin had succeeded, then Nick Nack would have inherited everything.
After Scaramanga's demise, Nick Nack was captured by Bond; his current status is unknown. Nick Nack did, however, appear in the 1990s animated spin-off, James Bond Jr as a member of the SCUM organisation and partner-in-crime of fellow henchman Jaws.
Nick Nack was likely the inspiration for Villechaize's later character, Tattoo, on the television show Fantasy Island, as well as an inspiration for Doctor Evil's Mini-Me in the Austin Powers films, which parodied the James Bond series.
