PARIS—French actor Michael Lonsdale, who worked with some of the world’s top directors in a career that spanned 60 years, died Monday at 89, his agent said.
From his role as the villain in the 1979 James Bond film “Moonraker” to that of a French monk in Algeria in the 2011 movie “Of Gods and Men,” Lonsdale acted, often in supporting roles, under top directors including Orson Welles, Steven Spielberg, Francois Truffaut and Louis Malle.
