and John Gardner, as well as in Kingsley Amis' '' Colonel Sun'', but did not become a regular cinematic character until the Brosnan and Craig era of films. Among his most prominent cinematic roles was in '' For Your Eyes Only'' (1981), in which Tanner was given a bigger part while M was "on leave", due to Bernard Lee's death that prevented him from reprising his role as M in the film. He otherwise has minor roles in '' The Man with the Golden Gun'' (1974), and appears in two of the four Brosnan films. Tanner appears in four of the five Craig films, taking on an increased role as M's chief aide and a friend and ally of Bond. In 1965, Amis wrote the authorised spin-off ''The Book of Bond, or Every Man His Own 007'', a tongue-in-cheek guide to being a spy. The book is not credited to Amis, but rather to Lt. Col. William "Bill" Tanner. * Michael Goodliffe (1974) (uncredited) * James Villiers (1981) *

00 agents

The 00 Section of MI6 is considered the elite of the Secret Service. Agents with the 00 prefix have proven themselves capable enough in the field to be entrusted with the licence to kill: the authorisation to, at their own discretion, commit acts of assassination and other controversial activities in order to complete their missions, without having to first seek permission from headquarters. The following 00 agents have been referenced onscreen in the James Bond films. Additional 00 agents, ranging from 001 to 0012, have been referenced in literature and in comic strips. * 002 – Mentioned in '' The Man with the Golden Gun'', named Bill Fairbanks and killed by Francisco Scaramanga. A different 002 (name not revealed) appears during the opening sequence of '' The Living Daylights''. * 003 – Body found in a snowbank at the start of '' A View to a Kill''. * 004 – Killed during the opening sequence of '' The Living Daylights''. * 005 – Seen attending a meeting during '' Thunderball''. * 006 – Named Alec Trevelyan, a one-time ally and friend of Bond who is presumed dead for nine years; he is the primary antagonist in '' GoldenEye''. * 007 – Can refer to both James Bond and Nomi, MI6 agent holder of the codename in '' No Time to Die''. * 008 – Mentioned by M in ''Goldfinger'' as a potential replacement for Bond if his mission fails. Bond also mentions this to Goldfinger himself. 008 is also mentioned in ''The Living Daylights'' as an alternate choice to assassinate General Pushkin if Bond refuses to do so. * 009 – Seen early in '' Octopussy'', killed by twins working for General Orlov. However, 009 still manages to complete his mission by returning a forged Fabergé egg and Bond later avenges his death. 009 is also mentioned in the film '' The World Is Not Enough'' as the agent who initially shoots Renard. 009 is mentioned again in '' Spectre'' as the intended recipient of the Aston Martin DB10 after it was reassigned from Bond. Bond steals the car for use in his own mission, leaving 009 without it. Additional unidentified 00 agents are seen briefly in '' Thunderball'' and '' The World Is Not Enough''. In the latter, one of the agents is revealed to be female.

Felix Leiter

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-

envoy in the Foreign Service and is succeeded as head of the KGB by General 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''. 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 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 Leonard James Callaghan, Baron Callaghan of Cardiff, ( ; 27 March 191226 March 2005), commonly known as Jim Callaghan, was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1976 to 1979 and Leader of the Labour Party from 1976 to 1980. Callaghan is ...

In ''Casino Royale'', it is revealed that he originally met Bond on assignment in Monte Carlo prior to World War II, when Bond was trying to crack down on a group of Romanians cheating at a local casino with the use of invisible ink. Mathis is reassigned to work with Bond at the time of the events in ''Casino Royale'', where he poses as a radio salesman, assisting Bond and introducing him to Vesper Lynd. In the novel '' Thunderball'',

asks Moneypenny to send a copy of SPECTRE's ransom demand letter to Mathis at the Deuxième Bureau. In '' Never Dream of Dying'', he is captured by the head of the Union ''Le Gérant'' and is blinded with lasers. Bond later saves him from imprisonment. A younger version of Mathis appears in the " Young Bond" short story "A Hard Man to Kill". The characters of Mathis and Vesper Lynd are combined to form Valerie Mathis in the original 1954 '' Climax!'' production of " Casino Royale". Mathis first appears onscreen in the 1967 version of '' Casino Royale'', played by Duncan Macrae. Here, he is a police officer, prompting Evelyn Tremble ( Peter Sellers) to state that it has been worrying him that despite his supposed nationality, Mathis has a Scots accent: "Aye, it worries me too", Mathis replies. In the 2006 adaptation of '' Casino Royale'', Mathis is an MI6 agent, played by Giancarlo Giannini. Mathis is suspected of being a traitor and informant to Le Chiffre and arrested. Upon the discovery that Vesper was the real traitor, Bond advises that MI6 should continue interrogating Mathis because his innocence has not yet been established. Mathis appears again in ''

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, especially and memorably for his

) and bigoted attitudes and his tendency to speak loudly about whatever is on his mind. In ''Live and Let Die'', he chases Bond's and Kananga's speedboats, believing them to be young people joyriding, but Felix Leiter later has one of the sheriff's superiors introducing him to Bond's mission. 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 in Thailand and briefly seeing Bond on another boat (the spectator can hear the notes of the preceding film's main theme where its title is made to better identify Pepper and his relation with Bond's adventures). Later, a gag involving him and an elephant is represented on the screen. He is later the man trying the AMC Hornet that Bond steals from a showroom, and, convinced of being chasing Communists (another category he dislikes), "helps" Bond in the subsequent car chase with Francisco Scaramanga's

, 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 highly criticised by many Bond fans who view him as symptomatic of the overly comic and slapstick nature of some of the 'Moore Era' movies.

For the film adaptation of ''Live and Let Die'', Bond teams up with Quarrel's (presumed) son, Quarrel Jr., played by Roy Stewart, who leads him on his boat in multiple scenes, before helping him destroy Dr. Kananga's poppy fields. Curiously, Quarrel Jr. seems to have a great knowledge of the island of San Monique, despite presumably being a Cayman Islander.


John Strangways and Mary Trueblood

John Strangways is a former Lieutenant Commander in the special branch of the
Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve Royal may refer to: People * Royal (name), a list of people with either the surname or given name * A member of a royal family Places United States * Royal, Arkansas, an unincorporated community * Royal, Illinois, a village * Royal, Iowa, a cit ...
. 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 Robert Rietti, (born Lucio Rietti; 8 February 1923 – 3 April 2015), was an actor, and Oscar-nominated director of Anglo-Italian descent. With over 200 credits to his name, he had a highly prolific career in the American, British and It ...

Tiger Tanaka

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, 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 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.

However, after leaving the KGB, Zukovsky does not hold a grudge towards Bond, especially 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 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, daughter of Mr. White, 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''.
