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.

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.

He was 36 at the time...(great age to start as BOND).
