About Me


I am Not the actor Herve Villenchaize This a fan site.
Nick Nack (played by Herve Villechaize) stared in the the 1974 James Bond Film The Man with the golden gun. He was the Scaramangas (played by Christopher lee) henchman, Nick Nack is short of stature but long on dedication. He will do anything for his master from pouring perfectly-chilled champagne to launching a full-scale attack on 007!
Herve Villechaize the actor passed away in 1993 this page is dedicated to him. I can answer most of your question about him to the best of my knowledge. Please try to respect someone who is not here when you pass comments he was a person who had a good sense of humor and was very kind and generous. This is some of his history I will try and fill in gaps along the way;

Herve Villechaize was born in Paris on April 23, 1943. He stopped growing very early and his father (who was a surgeon) tried to find a cure by visiting several doctors and hospitals. But there was none, so Herv had to live with his small height and also with undersized lungs. He studied at the Beaux-Arts in Paris and made an exhibition of his own paintings, which were well received. At 21, he left France for the USA where he continued to paint and to make photographs. He also started to participate in some movies and was quickly offered several roles for plays and then for cinema. His first big success was The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) where he was a killer associated to the villain Scaramanga (played byChristopher Lee). He inspired the TV-series "Fantasy Island" (1978) where he took the role of Tattoo, the faithful servant of Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban). This series was a great success and thanks to it Villechaize became famous and rich, mostly because of his enigmatic and charming smile.
In 1983 he argued with the producers of the show in order to earn as much money as Montalban but instead, he was fired; he also lost his model-actress wife. The series continued without him but stopped one year later, when the media response meter decreased because of the lack of Tattoo's character!
Villechaize became alcoholic and depressed, so he missed several roles that he was offered. His health problems also increased (mostly suffering from ulcers and a spastic colon), and he nearly died of pneumonia in 1992. On the afternoon of Saturday September 4th, 1993, after having watched a movie, he wrote a note and made a tape recording before shooting himself in his backyard. His common-law wife Kathy Self discovered his body and called the ambulance which took him to the Medical Center of North Hollywood where he died at 3:40 pm. Villechaize was cremated and his ashes were scattered off Point Fermin, in Los Angeles.
