> [@Czarcasm](#): > > What actor has starred in two different Bond films playing two different roles? Quite a few, as has been noted. There’s also **Ed Bishop** , who played Klaus Hergesheimer (cjhecking on radiation shields…") in _Diamonds are Forever_ and an officer in _You Only Live Twice_ And, of course, Walter Gotell played S.P.E.C.T.R.E. goon Morzeny in _From Russia with Love_ before playing General Gogol in a bunch of other Bond movies. There are others. ---

Hah! And here’s a listing of them. But you have to sift out the actors in the same roles: > **[List of recurring actors in the James Bond film series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recurring_actors_and_actresses_in_the_James_Bond_film_series)** > > This is a list of actors that have appeared physically (but not always characteristically) in the Eon Productions series of the James Bond film series more than once. > In the Bond films, Bernard Lee's character, M, is Admiral Sir Miles Messervy (only ever named, besides as 'M', as 'Admiral' and 'Miles' on screen in his appearances), Bond's irascible boss who sends him out on assignments. He also portrays M along with Lois Maxwell as Moneypenny in the 1975 French comedy " Bons baisers de Hong... Besides the ones noted above, there are: **Martine Beswick** in _From Russia With Love_ and _Thunderball_ **Tsai Chin** in _You Only Live Twice_ and _Casino Royale_ (2006) **Michael G. Wilson** in cameos in 14 different Bond film (!) I’m sure this isn’t an exhaustive list – they don’t have Ed Bishop in it. ---

> [@Morbo](#): > > Maud Adams Also an extra in a crowd scene in _A View to a Kill_, or so I’ve read. And let’s not forget Shane Rimmer. He was a submarine commander in _The Spy Who Loved Me_, and had uncredited roles in _Diamonds Are Forever_ and _You Only Live Twice_ (unlike Maud Adams, he appeared with Connery and Moore). I would swear he had a speaking role in YOLT, as the ground controller of one of the hijacked spacecraft. Don’t remember who he played in DAF. ---

And they missed Burt Kwouk! Never mind playing Cato opposite Inspector Clouseau; he was Mister Ling in GOLDFINGER and Spectre #3 in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE – and that’s without even counting him in CASINO ROYALE, alongside Vladek Sheybal of FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. ---

Okay._Gilligan’s Island_; Richard Kiel (Jaws) and Harold Sakata (Oddjob) played visitors to the island. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movie-with-multiple-bonds/590513.md?page=1)
