Desmond was killed in a car crash not long after completing The World Is Not Enough, may he rest in peace.

yeah may he rest in peace, I will always brand him as the original Q for he stuck with his character for so long so he deserves it.

I'm pretty sure he was the actor who stayed with the series the longest; the only one who was there with Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton AND Pierce Brosnan. John Cleese was a promising Q as well and I hope he ruturns to the part for future films with Daniel Craig. But yeah, Desmond is the definitive Q.

Jeffrey Wright is the first actor as Felix to be in 2 consecutive movies, which is good. Hope he's in a few more.

My favorite Felix is the one from LALD and Licence to kill. I wish he was in the other ones.

David Hedison? Yeah he was pretty good. Too bad he ended up disagreeing with something that ate him...

Hedison's my favorite Leiter also.
But talking about Llewelyn, I also respect him for being in so many Bond-films. The viewers nearly identified with him.
I just hope they give at least one more chance to Llewelyns succesor John Cleese.

yeah, especially how they set him up for it in TWINE, and then he was Q in DAD.

I think they did that perfectly, theyd be dum not to have him again.

Well these are rumors that ive heard so dont brand it as actual fact. But Q and Moneypenny ar suppose to return in the next film and as we've seen in Casino Royale and Quantium of Solace Judi Dench the M from Brosnan's Bond film is still M. So since they both have already played Q and Monneypenny it would be intentionally exspected that they will bring John Cleese and Samantha Bond back to play them again.

I believe I've heard that Samantha Bond won't be return ing as Miss Moneypenny but haven't heard anything about John Cleese - would be good to see him have another go at Q.

Well as i said i have heard rumors but if the producers dont find any actors and actoresses that they think can play Q and Moneypenny then they will turn back to John Clesse and Samantha Bond to play them once again.
