The Albino (The Princess Bride)

The Albino is a minor villain in the 1987 fantasy film The Princess Bride. He was portrayed by the late British comedian, Mel Smith.

History
The Albino is Count Rugen's assistant inside the Pit of Despair and is a henchman of Prince Humperdinck. He assisted Rugen in torturing the prisoners of the Pit.

He first appears when Wesley awakens in the Pit. The Albino is cleaning his shoulder wound and initially speaks in a hoarse, creepy voice, though this is revealed to be just an act and actually has a much more normal sounding voice. He tells Wesley that escape from the Pit was impossible and he was essentially there until he was killed via torture. When Wesley says he can handle torture, the Albino doesn't believe this, conceding that, even though Wesley was brave enough to survive the Fire Swamp, no one could withstand Count Rugen's Machine.

When Rugen starts Wesley on the Machine, the Albino is the one who personally hooks him up while Rugen talks to him about it. He watches Wesley being tortured with a sadistic smile on his face.
