How about Dirk Benedict? He could have appeared in Octopussy if Roger had turned it down.

Yes! He was OK in an episode of Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense (the one with the tatoo). He wouldn't be my first choice (!), but he would have been fun.

Not in my beloved Octopussy.
It's bad enough to see those awful James Brolin screentests on the special features. Dirk 'Face' Bendict.
In the words of BA. "You crazy foooool."

I don't know if he ever tested but he claimed that Broccoli offered him the role in the early eighties.

Cubby Broccoli certainly spoke to a lot of actors about playing Bond. About 50,000 of them if they are all to be believed. :lol:
