Actor accepts role of Unicef ambassador
Swiss actor Anatole Taubman has agreed to represent the Swiss branch of the United Nations children's organisation, Unicef.
Taubman, 39, is to serve as a spokesman for vulnerable children around the world.
“Every child has the right to grow up healthy and safe,” said Taubman in a Unicef statement issued on Wednesday.
Some of Taubman’s screen roles have been decidedly less benevolent. Taubman played a bad guy in Quantum of Solace, the most recent James Bond film.
The actor’s first Unicef task will be a visit to Rwanda on April 18-23. His mission is to call attention to the plight of orphans there.
