Is there a past actor who you want to return to a Bond film?

For me, I would love for Christopher Lee to return to the Bond franchise. He's such a good actor and you must admit, we all loved him in TMWTGG. He has a huge presence on screen and he is great on and off screen. I am aware of his old age, and how his scenes in the Hobbit were shot in London instead of NZ. But he could return as an old, wise villian who hatches his plan and let's his henchman do the work. A well written ending scene with DC Bond confronting Lees character with a death scene could be one of the franchises winning moments. Is this just a pipe dream? Does anyone have any actors who they want to come back?

    Nice idea! Christopher Lee as a major henchmen (or even head) of Quantum would be pretty cool!

    I always though Timothy Dalton would make an excellent villain, but unfortunately I think it would be too distracting to see any ex Bond actor making an appearence in any new 007 film.

    I would like to see David Hedison make another appearence in some capacity as I absolutely loved his portrayal of Felix Leiter in LALD and LTK. -{

    I've always thought Timothy Dalton would make a great M.

    I thought Robert Carlyle was under utilized in The World is Not Enough. I's like to see him in another one.

    I'm gonna make a splash with this one and say the guy who played Valentine Zukovsky in both GoldenEye and World. Since they have rebooted the series, I think it would very interesting to see the mission Bond mentions in giving Valentine his limp.

    It's just about possible that Valentine survived. I'd love to see him back. If he did it would mean that this was the same Bond as appeared in Goldeneye and TWINE with a new timeline.

    No I don't think it would mean that.

    It would not have to mean that, but it could do is probably more accurate.

    I'd like to see a similar character, a fat man in the Sydney Greenstreet tradition.

    Mary Goodnight I'd like to see again. But I think the new Moneypenny will be taking that kind of assisting in the field role.

    Let's hope so. I still want Lee to return.
