Wow, leading seaman of the Devonshire ;) the title alone would exclude him.

Pity Barbara didn't venture down to the set that day and take fancy to a real bloke who could fill Bond's (and Pierce's) shoes.

I have to admit, I don't remember him. Was it even a speaking part? How much screen time did he get?

One line in five seconds at best, I think an Butler fan posted it on youtube.

EDIT: I was right. Quite obscure. Apparently it was Butler's second acting role. Video is in bad quality though.

Which one was he? the video was crap so it was hard to tell.

I like butler for the role. I think he coulda, shoulda, will make a decent Bond. :)

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.
