Oliver Skeete (born 26 March 1956 in Speightstown, Barbados) is a British showjumper turned reality show contestant and actor.
One of a family of 10 (four brothers and five sisters), Skeete travelled to England in September 1964 to join his parents who had settled in Acton, West London, and attended local schools to the age of fifteen.
[2] This was partly due to his status as a dreadlocked black competitor in the overwhelmingly white middle-class world of British showjumping,[3] and he used this novelty factor to generate media interest.
[5] He also had a minor role in the Bond film Die Another Day,[6] where he delivered Pierce Brosnan a key to the London Underground "offices" of MI6.
He also had worked on a British film called Clubbing to Death, with Nick Moran, Huey Morgan and Dave Courtney, that was due for release in 2007.
