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

I have to admit, I don't remember him. Was it even a speaking part? How much screen time did he get?FormerBondFan wrote:In the end credits of TND, Butler was credited as a leading seaman of the Devonshire.

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.

Re: Gerard Butler
He was 36 at the time...(great age to start as BOND).
