Bruce Boa

Entering films around 1960, British actor Bruce Boa has had a considerable number of movie credits in the sci-fi/fantasy field. He was seen as Roy in the satiric Man in the Moon (1960), a detective in the allegorical The Adding Machine (1968) and General Reeikan in The Empire Strikes Back (1980). The actor also showed up in unstressed minor roles in such films as The Omen (1976), Ragtime (1981) and the James Bond spectacular Octopussy (1983). Bruce Boa has from time to time played "American" roles, but even his appearance in Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam drama Full Metal Jacket (1987) was filmed in England.
