** Felix Leiter has appeared in ten films in the Eon Productions series so far, and has been played by seven different actors. The only ones to have played him more than once are Creator/DavidHedison -- whose appearances were non-consecutive (in ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'' and ''Film/LicenceToKill''), opposite two different Bonds[[note]](Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton)[[/note]] -- and Creator/JeffreyWright in the Creator/DanielCraig continuity. Before the Craig continuity, absolutely no attempt was made at maintaining continuity in terms of age and appearance, with the character alternating between young and middle aged and thin and portly.

(Allegedly, this was to nip any danger of Leiter becoming a SpotlightStealingSquad, especially given the series' huge American fanbase.)
