Comments on Terry from cast & crew of On Her Majesty's Secret Service
"Terry Mountain... Wow what a guy! I trusted him in our fight scene on the beach in the opening scene of OHMSS and I could tell he knew what he was doing stunt wise. Then as time has gone on we have met socially over the years and he is a trustworthy soul. l always liked Terry." - George Lazenby

"Happy Birthday Terry, it seems only yesterday that we were running up and down the Schilthorn and around Piz Gloria dressed in those white suits saving the world on OHMSS, and then painting the town red in the Inferno bar of the Palace hotel or Eiger Hotel at night.
Flying in by chopper once again to the top of the Piz Gloria for the opening of the Walk of Fame in 2015 brought back some wonderful memories of good times and good friends, and the amazing thing was you and I had not changed or aged one little bit(!) unlike everyone else.
I look forward to see Terry for the 50th anniversary of OHMSS in Murren if not before. I hope he stays well and fit like he always are." - Vic Armstrong

"Terry Mountain must be one of the best actors ever. Why? Because he’s such a believable baddie yet such a lovely, gentle, funny man. Oh, and a very good hugger. Though not too tight! Happy birthday Terry, keep back from the flames!"
- Jenny Hanley
