He is a good pilot who likes to catch his prey off guard with his favorite weapon, a revolver.
- Jason Statham in the role of Lee Christmas Barney’s best friend, Lee, a former SAS soldier and Barney’s best man, can be trusted with any perilous job. Though he frequently doubts Barney’s decisions, he is devoted to his friend.
