Shane Rimmer (born 1932) is a Canadian actor and voice actor.
He has mostly performed in supporting roles, frequently in films and television series filmed in the United Kingdom, having relocated to England in the late 1950s. His appearances include roles in such widely-known films as Dr. Strangelove, The Spy Who Loved Me, Out of Africa and Gandhi. More recently he has appeared in Spy Game, Hellboy and Batman Begins. In the earlier years of his career, there were several uncredited performances, among others for films such as Diamonds Are Forever, You Only Live Twice and Star Wars. With the exception of recurring featured cast members he has appeared in more James Bond films than any other actor.
Rimmer has a long association with Gerry Anderson. Thunderbirds fans may recognize him as the voice actor behind the character Scott Tracy. He also wrote scripts and provided uncredited voices for Captain Scarlet and Joe 90, made an appearance in an episode of Anderson's live-action UFO and provided voices for Space: 1999 and guest starred in the episode Space Brain. In later years he starred in the unscreened pilot Space Police (later made into a series with other actors as Space Precinct) and provided the voice for Anderson's stop-motion gumshoe Dick Spanner, P.I..
He also appeared in Doctor Who in 1966, and in Coronation Street as two different characters - Joe Donnelli (1968-1970), who held Stan Ogden hostage in No. 5 before committing suicide, and Malcolm Reid (1988), father of Audrey Roberts' son Stephen.
