How about Gene Hackman.

He qualifies via the "he does not look like James Bond but is a great actor" criteria of today. :twisted:

Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.

He doesn't have enough sex appeal. Although he would have made an awesome Felix Leiter. :)

The fact he's American would have kept him from being Bond(though they did screen test James Brolin..thank god THAT never happened.).He would have made a good Leiter, agreed.
