Jeffrey Wright (2006, 2008 & 2021) A revised version of the character of Felix Leiter appears in the
1954 television adaptation of
Casino Royale. In that version, Leiter is a British agent named Clarence Leiter and is played by
Michael Pate.
General Anatoly Gogol General Anatoly Gogol is the head of the
KGB in the films
The Spy Who Loved Me,
Moonraker,
For Your Eyes Only,
Octopussy, and
A View to a Kill. In his final appearance, in
The Living Daylights, the character has become a post-
Glasnost envoy in the Foreign Service and is succeeded as head of the KGB by General Leonid Pushkin. In the end credits of the film, his first name is listed as "Anatol", although in
The Spy Who Loved Me, M referred to him as Alexis. Gogol is played by
Walter Gotell (who also played
SPECTRE henchman Morzeny in
From Russia with Love). With the KGB, Gogol often allies himself with Bond to stave off the possibility of war with the West, an ideal that is not always shared with his comrades—such as when he argues against Soviet General Orlov's reckless proposal of military conquest in
Octopussy, and uncovers Orlov's theft of priceless jewels from the Kremlin. Only in
For Your Eyes Only and
A View to a Kill does Gogol act as an enemy, but even then his actions are more those of a respectful competitor. He particularly opposes the methods of the villain
Max Zorin (
Christopher Walken) in
A View to a Kill. General Gogol has a secretary named Miss Rublevitch, played by
Eva Rueber-Staier, being some sort of Soviet counterpart to Miss Moneypenny.
Sir Frederick Gray Sir Frederick Gray is the
Minister of Defence in the films
The Spy Who Loved Me,
Moonraker,
For Your Eyes Only,
Octopussy,
A View to a Kill, and
The Living Daylights. He is always listed in the closing credits as "Minister of Defence", and is played by
Geoffrey Keen. In
The Spy Who Loved Me, after being briefed on his forthcoming mission to Egypt, Bond holds a private discussion with Gray, to whom he refers as "Freddie". It is never revealed how they know each other well enough for Bond to be so informal. In the next few films, Bond calls Gray "Minister", for most of their scenes include other officials. It is also suggested that he belongs to no particular political party; direct references are made to
Margaret Thatcher in
For Your Eyes Only, even though he had also held the post in
The Spy Who Loved Me and
Moonraker – which were both made during the government led by
James Callaghan.
Marc-Ange Draco Draco is the head of the
Unione Corse, a (real-life) major European crime syndicate and a rival of SPECTRE. Also an industrialist, his business empire acts as front for his activities. He appears in the novel ''
On Her Majesty's Secret Service, working as an ally of Bond. His daughter Countess Teresa "Tracy" Draco di Vicenzo marries Bond but is killed shortly thereafter. He reappears in the novel Never Dream of Dying'', where 007's former father-in-law turns out to be linked to the villain of the Union. He also appears in the film ''
On Her Majesty's Secret Service'', portrayed by
Gabriele Ferzetti.
Sir James Molony A noted
neurologist whose expertise is frequently employed by M and the Secret Services, Molony appears in the novels
Dr. No,
Thunderball,
You Only Live Twice, and
The Man with the Golden Gun.
Sheriff J. W. Pepper Sheriff John Wayne (J. W.) Pepper is a parish sheriff in
Louisiana. He appears in the films
Live and Let Die and
The Man with the Golden Gun. Played by
Clifton James, he is mostly used as
comic relief. In
Live and Let Die, he chases Bond (
Roger Moore)'s and Dr. Kananga (
Yaphet Kotto)'s
speedboats, believing them to be young people
joyriding. His first film appearance also reveals a comedic rivalry with
Louisiana State Police troopers, who are shown kidding him when his car is destroyed by a fallen speedboat of Kananga's. After a chase that destroys several police cars, the state police tell him that Bond is a spy and Pepper quips, "On whose side??" In
The Man with the Golden Gun, a vacationing Pepper is shown having a boat tour with his wife in
Thailand and briefly seeing Bond on another boat. He is later seen trying an
AMC Hornet that Bond steals from a showroom, and, convinced he is chasing
communists, helps Bond in the subsequent car chase with
Francisco Scaramanga's
AMC Matador, only to be arrested by the
Royal Thai Police together with the British operative. Both of Pepper's appearances, particularly in the latter film, have been criticised by some Bond fans who view him as symptomatic of the overly comic and slapstick nature of some of the Moore-era movies. Roger Moore said "He gave my first two films a great, fun character", on actor Clifton James's death.
Quarrel Quarrel is a
Cayman Islander living in
Jamaica. He first appears in the novel
Live and Let Die as Bond's guide while 007 is investigating Mr. Big. Quarrel later appears in the novel
Dr. No to help Bond infiltrate Dr.
Julius No's island, Crab Key. The only Bond film in which Quarrel appears is the 1962 film
Dr. No, played by
John Kitzmiller where, as in the novel, he is killed by Dr. No (
Joseph Wiseman)'s mythical "dragon", which is actually a
flamethrower-equipped vehicle. As the films were made out of sequence from the novels, for the film adaptation of
Live and Let Die, Quarrel was changed to his son Quarrel Jr., played by
Roy Stewart, whom Bond teams up with, helping him destroy Dr. Kananga's poppy fields.
John Strangways and Mary Trueblood John Strangways is a former
Lieutenant Commander in the special branch of the
Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. He makes his first appearance in the novel
Live and Let Die as the chief Secret Service agent in the Caribbean. Strangways is roughly 35 years old and wears a black patch over one eye. He later appears in the novel
Dr. No, where he and his Number 2, Mary Trueblood (a former Chief Officer in the
Women's Royal Naval Service), are assassinated for prying into Dr. Julius No's business. Mary Trueblood is based on Fleming's secretary from
The Sunday Times, Una Trueblood. Strangways makes his only appearance in the films in
Dr. No, where, as in the novel, he is killed for investigating the title character. Unlike in the novel, however, Strangways does not wear an eyepatch in the film. He is portrayed by
Timothy Moxon and voiced by
Robert Rietty (who later voiced villains
Emilio Largo in
Thunderball and
Ernst Stavro Blofeld in
For Your Eyes Only). Mary is portrayed by Dolores Keator and dubbed by
Nikki van der Zyl; both were Jamaican residents and were not in London for the final dubbing of the film.
Tiger Tanaka Japanese Secret Service Tiger Tanaka is an ally to Bond in the novel
You Only Live Twice and its
film adaptation. He is the head of the Japanese Secret Service (
Koan-Chosa-Kyoku) and resides within a secret underground office complex beneath the streets of
Tokyo, his identity being the most closely guarded secret in Japan. Tanaka helps Bond disguise himself to look Japanese so that Blofeld will not recognise him. Tanaka arranges for Bond to marry a girl native to the land,
Kissy Suzuki (
Mie Hama), in order to provide extra cover. In the film, Tanaka is portrayed by
Tetsurō Tamba. He supplies an army of
ninjas to attack Ernst Stavro Blofeld (
Donald Pleasence) and leads the attack on Blofeld's volcano base. Tanaka also appears in the novel
The Man with the Red Tattoo and in the
Dynamite Entertainment-published spin-off comic book,
Felix Leiter. In the novel, the character was based on one of Fleming's friends, Torao Saito – although he was not connected to Japanese intelligence, but was in fact a well-known
polymath in Japan, being a journalist, writer, photographer and architect.
Jack Wade Central Intelligence Agency Jack Wade is an American
CIA agent who appears in the films
GoldenEye and
Tomorrow Never Dies. He is played by
Joe Don Baker. Eight years before
GoldenEye, Baker played villain
Brad Whitaker in
The Living Daylights.
Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky KGB Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky (
Russian: Вaлeнтин Дмитриeвич Жуковский) is a former KGB agent turned
Russian mafia head who runs a bar, a casino, and a caviar factory. When he was younger (and a KGB agent), a conflict with Bond ended with Bond shooting Zukovsky in the leg, causing him to walk with a limp. After leaving the KGB, Zukovsky at first holds a grudge towards Bond, almost shooting him in his manhood. However, he soon realizes when dealing with Bond means turning a profit. Played by
Robbie Coltrane, Zukovsky makes two appearances in the films, his first being in
GoldenEye before being shot and mortally wounded by
Elektra King (
Sophie Marceau) in
The World Is Not Enough. He lives long enough after being shot to execute a trick shot using his
cane gun, enabling Bond to escape King's trap.
Dr. Madeleine Swann Dr. Madeleine Swann is a psychiatrist and daughter of
Mr. White (
Jesper Christensen), who assists Bond in his mission and becomes his love interest in the film
Spectre and continues to be a central character in the subsequent film
No Time to Die. == Film allies == This section lists allies who each appear in only one film. (*) Robert Brown also played M in
Octopussy,
A View to a Kill,
The Living Daylights and
Licence to Kill. As M's real name and background are not revealed in any of these films, it is possible Brown's M may in fact be Hargreaves.
