You guys will remember Geoffrey as Punjab in "Annie", the 7-Up commercials in the '70s and '80s and as the mysterious Baron Samedi in the 007 film "Live and Let Die". He also performed the role of the Cheshire Cat in the Richard-and-Kate-Burton production of Alice in Wonderland. He's also well-known for his deep voice and booming laughter.
