Felix Leiter - James Bond Wiki
Who he is:

Actors:
  • Jack Lord (appeared in Dr.No)
    • John Joseph Patrick Ryan or better known by his stage name Jack Lord was an American actor who first portrayed the role of CIA agent Felix Leiter in Dr.No. The producers didn't ask him to reprise the role of Leiter since they felt that having the same actor over and over might upstage Sean Connery's dominance as the leading man.

    • Prior to Bond, Hedison's biggest roles were in the original "The Fly" and as Lee Crane on television's "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea." He's (so far) the only "Leiter" to have appeared in more than one movie.
  • John Terry (appeared in The Living Daylights)
    • John Terry has also appeared in Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket," and David Fincher's "Zodiac," and on tv mini-series "Into the West," as well as recurring roles on "Lost" and "24."

They should've kept Jack Lord thru-out the series(maybe they could'nt because of Hawaii 5-0)but it would have gone along with M and Moneypenny and Q as the same actors in the series,and lent continuity to the supporting cast.Plus Felix and Bond became close friends in the books which may have boosted the films appeal.And what happend to Felix being in Pinkertons after the shark savageing in Live and Let Die??
