Bond's CIA counterpart was Felix Lighter, but I don't ever remember him being played by a black actor. Perhaps you're confusing him with Quarrel or Quarrel Jr?

Felix was black in Never Say Never Again. Take anything in that movie with a grain of salt.

Well, I didn't remember that. But I don't count NSNA, as as offical Bond movie. It is not part of the series. I still don't understand how they got around copyright laws in order to do this movie without being sued.

Bernie Casey was Felix in NSNA.
Rowan Atkinson was Nigel Small-Fawcett in NSNA.

Atkinson never played Felix. Felix was played by the following actors in the following movies:
Jack Lord: Dr. No.
Cec Linder: Goldfinger
Rik Van Nutter: Thunderball
Norman Burton: Diamonds Are Forever
David Hedison: Live And Let Die, Licence To Kill
Bernie Casey: Never Say Never Again

SONY BOUGHT THE RIGHTS TO THE BOND FRANCHISE DURING PRODUCTION OF OCTOPUSSY. THEREFORE, BOTH NSNA AND OCTOPUSSY CAME OUT CLOSE TO EACH OTHER.

If you want to get technical, wouldn't the only canon Bond stories be the ones that were Ian Fleming books rather than Hollywood blockbusters?

The history is that Kevin McClory co-wrote the treatment of Thunderball with Ian Fleming, upon which Fleming later based the novel of the same name. McClory was responsible for the whole concept of SPECTRE. He was the reason Eon had to stop using SPECTRE in its plots for the movies. In a nasty lawsuit, he won the rights to make Thunderball pretty much ad-nauseum. Never Say Never Again was the first of what was was planned to be MANY Thunderball remakes. McClory and Eon wound up in court again around 2000 and this time Eon won, not allowing McClory and Sony to make any more Bond pictures. More recently, Sony bought MGM, bringing both diverging franchises back under one roof, so McClory has been dealt a one-two punch. The likelihood of another McClory Thunderball remake is very very slim.

Incidently, I always took the line in Austin Powers about "Oh well, let's just do what we always do: Hijack a nuclear warhead and hold it for ransom" as a slam on McClory. After all, the man only had one plot and twelve scripts to rehash it over and over again. We got it the first go around. NSNA was an embarassment not because it wasn't well executed, but because it was Sean Connery remaking one of his own Bond outings. Octopussy outperformed it at the box office because it was original. Nothing more or less.

Why, yes, yes, he was. Alex Trevelyan. But wasn't it just thought that he was dead?

Sean Bean actually auditioned for the role of James Bond in The Living Daylights but was turned down in favor of Timothy Dalton. I guess they didn't want two Sean Bonds... Sean Bean then played Bond's nemesis in GoldenEye which, I think, was the best of the Pierce Brosnan Bond films.
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

I read this article in the Hollywood Reporter yesterday that states some weeks ago Martin Campbell asked Clive Owen to play 007 (Campbell recently directed Owen in Beyond Borders) but Clive turned down the part. Wilson and Broccoli apparently cannot come to terms with who they want to play Bond.

I love the part that says Broccoli didn't find Jackman masculine enough. This has to be the most asinine statement I've read. Given Jackman's cigar-chomping, lack-of-shaving, ass-whooping Wolverine (who got totally ripped for X2), and given Roger Moore & Pierce Brosnan's nancy-boy effections when playing Bond, Babs B. is clearly talking out of her ass.
