List of recurring actors and actresses in the James Bond film series

This is a list of actors that have appeared physically (but not always characteristically) in the Eon Productions series of the James Bond film series more than once.

MI6 Branch: Universal Exports – United Kingdom

M – Head of MI-6

Bernard Lee

In the Bond films, Bernard Lee's character, M, is Admiral Sir Miles Messervy (only ever named, besides as 'M', as 'Admiral' and 'Miles' on screen in his appearances), Bond's irascible boss who sends him out on assignments. He also portrays M along with Lois Maxwell as Moneypenny in the 1975 French comedy " Bons baisers de Hong Kong". Lee was succeeded by Robert Brown, though not necessarily playing the same character (Brown had played another admiral in the series previously).

Dame Judi Dench, a friend of Lee, would later take over the role of a brand-new M, starting in 1995 with some references to her predecessor, including an oil painting of Lee in the role seen in MI6's secondary HQ (a Scottish castle).

Lee starred in eleven James Bond films.
* '' Dr. No'' (1962)
* '' From Russia with Love'' (1963)

* '' Moonraker'' (1979)

Robert Brown

After Lee's death in 1981, the producers hired actor Robert Brown to continue the role in the Bond films. Brown picks up the role in ''Octopussy'', however it is never explicitly stated on screen whether Robert Brown's character is intended to be the same person played by Lee, if he was intended to be Admiral Hargreaves, the role played by Brown in 1977's ''The Spy Who Loved Me'', or if he is supposed to be another character altogether.

Brown played M in the following James Bond films:

* ''Octopussy'' (1983)
* ''A View to a Kill'' (1985)
* ''The Living Daylights'' (1987)
* ''Licence to Kill'' (1989)

Judi Dench

In 1995, actress Dame Judi Dench became known to an international audience after taking over the role of M starting with ''GoldenEye'' and continuing through all of the Pierce Brosnan films. She is the only actor from Brosnan's era to remain in the rebooted franchise featuring Daniel Craig, starring in 2006's ''Casino Royale'', 2008's ''Quantum of Solace'', and 2012's ''Skyfall'', followed by a cameo in 2015's ''Spectre''.

Starting with the second film in the James Bond series, '' From Russia with Love'' (1963), Desmond Llewelyn appeared as Q (the quartermaster of the MI6 gadget lab known as Q-branch) in every Bond film, except '' Live and Let Die'' (1973), until ''The World Is Not Enough'' (1999). He had originally been chosen for the role as he had previously worked with the director Terence Young on the 1950 war film ''They Were Not Divided''. In the 2002 film ''Die Another Day'', John Cleese, who played the character R, the assistant to Q in ''The World Is Not Enough'', was promoted to the head of Q-branch, thus taking on the title of Q. In all, Llewelyn appeared in 17 Bond films, more than any other actor, and worked with the first five James Bond actors. He also portrayed Q in a 1967 made-for-television special (produced by Eon Productions) entitled, ''Welcome to Japan, Mr. Bond'' which was included in the 2006 special edition DVD release of '' You Only Live Twice''.

In 2002, when Cleese reprised his role in ''Die Another Day'', the character was promoted, making Cleese the new quartermaster (Q) of MI6. In 2004, Cleese was featured as Q in the video game ''James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing'', featuring his likeness and voice.

Cleese appears as R/Q in the following films:

Ben Whishaw

Actor Ben Whishaw took over the role in 2012's ''Skyfall''. Q was absent from the two previous movies, ''Casino Royale'' and ''Quantum of Solace'' and it was Daniel Craig who had expressed concern over the character's absence, and expressed his hope that Q would return in Skyfall.

Whishaw appears as Q in the following films:
* ''Skyfall'' (2012)
* ''Spectre'' (2015)
* ''No Time to Die'' (2021)

Moneypenny – Secretary

Lois Maxwell

Lois Maxwell lobbied for the role in James Bond, as her husband had had a heart attack and they needed the money. Director Terence Young, who once had turned her down on the grounds that she looked like she "smelled of soap", offered her either Moneypenny or the recurring Bond girlfriend, Sylvia Trench, but she was uncomfortable with a revealing scene the latter had in the screenplay. The role as M's secretary guaranteed just two days' work at £100 per day; Maxwell supplied her own clothes. The Trench character, however, was eliminated after '' From Russia with Love''.

In 1967, Maxwell angered Sean Connery for a time by appearing in the Italian spy spoof ''Operation Kid Brother'' with the star's brother Neil Connery and Bernard Lee. In 1971, Maxwell was nearly replaced for '' Diamonds Are Forever'' after demanding a pay raise; her policewoman's cap disguises hair she had already dyed for another role. In 1975, she plays Moneypenny weeping for the death of James Bond in a short scene with Bernard Lee as M in the French comedy '' Bons Baisers de Hong Kong''. For the filming of ''A View to a Kill'', her final appearance, Bond producer Albert "Cubby" Broccoli told her that the two of them were the only ones from ''Dr. No'' still working on the series. Maxwell asked that her character be killed off, but Broccoli recast the role instead.

As Moneypenny, according to author Tom Lisanti, she was seen as an "anchor", with her flirtatious repartee with Bond lending the films realism and humanism. For Moneypenny, Bond was "unobtainable", freeing the characters to make outrageous sexual double entendres. At the same time, her character did little to imbue the series with changing feminist notions.

Her total screen time as Moneypenny in 14 films was less than two hours, and she spoke fewer than 200 words.

; As Miss Moneypenny :
* ''Dr. No'' (1962)
* ''From Russia with Love'' (1963)
* ''Goldfinger'' (1964)
* ''Thunderball'' (1965)
* ''You Only Live Twice'' (1967)
* ''On Her Majesty's Secret Service'' (1969)
* ''Diamonds are Forever'' (1971)
* ''Live and Let Die'' (1973)
* ''The Man with the Golden Gun'' (1974)
* ''The Spy Who Loved Me'' (1977)
* ''Moonraker'' (1979)
* ''For Your Eyes Only'' (1981)
* ''Octopussy'' (1983)
* ''A View to a Kill'' (1985)

Caroline Bliss

Caroline Bliss was only featured in two James Bond movies (the only two Timothy Dalton starred in as James Bond). Although, her role in ''Licence to Kill'' was little more than a cameo. She is the only actress to play Moneypenny while wearing glasses. She is also the youngest actress to play Moneypenny.
* ''The Living Daylights'' (1987)
* ''Licence to Kill'' (1989)

Samantha Bond

Samantha Bond starred in four James Bond films as Miss Moneypenny. She retired from her role with the departure of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond.

* ''GoldenEye'' (1995)
* ''Tomorrow Never Dies'' (1997)
* ''The World Is Not Enough'' (1999)
* ''Die Another Day'' (2002)

In a commercial for London's 2012 Olympic bid, Bond once again suited up as Miss Moneypenny. She appeared alongside Roger Moore, who played 007 between 1973 and 1985.

Naomie Harris

The role of Miss Moneypenny was not cast in the following Bond films, ''Casino Royale'' and ''Quantum of Solace''. The character eventually returned in the 2012 film, ''Skyfall'', under the alias 'Eve', played by Naomie Harris. It is only at the end of ''Skyfall'' that agent 'Eve' is revealed to be Moneypenny.

Harris played Moneypenny in the following films:

* ''Skyfall'' (2012)
* ''Spectre'' (2015)
* ''No Time to Die'' (2021)

Walter Gotell

A German-British actor, Walter Gotell is known for his role as General Gogol, head of the KGB, in the Bond films.

Gotell won the role of General Alexis Gogol in ''The Spy Who Loved Me'' for being a look-alike of the former head of Soviet secret police Lavrentiy Beria. His first role in the James Bond films came in 1963, when he played the henchman Morzeny in ''From Russia with Love''. Starting in the late 1970s, he played the recurring role of General Gogol in the James Bond series, beginning with ''The Spy Who Loved Me'' in 1977. The character returned in ''Moonraker'' (1979), ''For Your Eyes Only'' (1981), ''Octopussy'' (1983), ''A View to a Kill'' (1985) and ''The Living Daylights'' (1987). As the Cold War developed, the role of leader of the KGB was seen to change attitudes to the West – from direct competitor to collaborator. His final appearance, as the Cold War began to become less imminent, sees him transferred to a different, more diplomatic role.
