I'd forgotten he was in Billion Dollar Brain.  I have added the details to the news page.

In the obituary of Karl Malden in The Times 3 Jul 2009, Billion Dollar Brain is described as the film that torpedoed the Harry Palmer series.  Accurate I think, Ken can't do action films.

Malden had a pretty interesting career, lot of stuff with Brando inlcuding Streetcar and On the Waterfront.
