I know we all imagine either ourselves or our favourite actor as Bond in the Novels. So I
was wondering who do you imagine as Felix?. I nearly always (given Fleming's description )
Think of a young William Shatner.

Alan Tudyk is born in -texas and they are both allways good in movies.
I agree, however, that David Hedison was the actor who played the best Leiter.

I think my candidates are good because they resemble Felix in the books fairly well and are very good and interesting character actors. Barry Pepper is perhaps best remembered as the sniper i Saving Private Ryan and the Border Guardsman in The three burials of Garcia Marquez. Alan Tudyk probably as the pilot Wash in Firefly /Serenity and a lot of minor roles in movies.
Wouldn't he be too close to DC in terms of overall looks, build, height etc ?
My pick:
Though I'm not a great fan of the actor.
More realistically:
Paul Rudd.
Of course, if it were the 1960s, we could all have our choice, in consecutive movies!
Roger Moore 1927-2017
I think Billy Pepper is a great fit and an inspired choice Number24! I really liked him in *61 and he fits Fleming's description as well. I like the way Jeffrey Wright portrays Leiter but it is a shame he didn't get much screen time in CR and QOS and the friendship that develops between 007 and Leiter isn't worked out at all. It's a shame Jeffrey Wright isn't in Skyfall.
When reading the novels I picture Leiter like Fleming describes him.
I think Jeffrey Wright is a great actor, and agree with those who wish he was given more to do with the character.

Jim Caviezel simply looks to much like Bond and too little like Felix Leiter. He is also too famous. If you have starred in a major motion picture youare also probably too famous to play Leiter. William Pettersen might work. Manhunter was a very good movie, but it is old now.
do you imagine as Leiter when reading the novels.
pitty he's not in Skyfall. I'd of loved to see him and Bond fighting together in a big
action sequence, Showing Leiter as basically the American Bond, his equal, and not
just a CIA contact.
He's about 9ft tall or something isn't he? Also he looks very much like a traditional Bond (am I right in thinking that was considered but not tested?)
I liked him, but do not see him as a field Ops type doing fisticuffs and stuff.
I guess I was theonewho started the dowward slide into "who should play Leiter after Geoffrey Wright?". Sorry. I like Wright in the part and I like theway he is portrayed. I don`t agree he sould be the American Bond. I think Felix Leiter should remain a more realistic agent, Bond`s contact in the CIA.
I've a good mind to pop over the Future title suggestions and start putting my usual silly suggestions down.
Yes BL, we seem to be in agreement on many issues, Either I'm begining to Mellow or

He looks too much like Craig IMO. Just a bit chubbier in the face.
