Returning Actors! « Thread Started on Mar 12, 2007, 6:01pm »
Apart from the obvious main characters - Bond, Q, M, Miss Moneypenny - who have been played by the same actor many times, can you think of any other actors that have returned to the world of Bond? (Either playing the same character more than once, or playing a different character)

Well, I guess there are a few obvious ones .... * Richard Kiel - who played Jaws in The Spy Who Loved Me and returned for the part in Moonraker. * Maud Adams - played Andrea Anders in The Man With The Golden Gun, and almost 10 years later she was Octopussy in the movie with the same name ... * David Hedison - the only actor who played Felix Leiter twice, first in Live and Let Die, than in Licence To Kill ...
There was also the late Walter Gotell, who played General Gogol a number of times, as well as Morzeny in FRWL.
I really enjoy seeing him in From Russia With Love, although I have to admit it took me a while to figure out it was actually Walter Gotell ... I kept thinking how familiar this guy was, but I couldn't think of where I'd seen him before!
Also, * Charles Gray played Dikko Henderson in You Only Live Twice, and was Blofeldt four years later in Diamonds Are Forever. * Robbie Coltrane played Zukovsky in Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough. * Joe Don Baker initially played Brad Whitaker in The Living Daylights, then moved on to playing Jack Wade in Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies.

Hey bondfanx - welcome to The World of 007!
That's right ... I can't believe I forgot Silvia Trench, she's even in the very first scene where we see Bond in Dr No - at the casino! I seem to have read somewhere that she was supposed to be making an appearance pretty much in every teaser of the Bond films, always trying to get together with Bond, ending up being left alone becuase he was going on a new mission. Guess it worked in From Russia With Love, but not after that, huh?
