James Bond is one of the longest - run film franchises of all time . The series began in 1962 withDr . Noand the up-to-the-minute motion picture , No Time To Die , is congeal to be unblock sometime in 2021 . Naturally , as the franchise   has been running for over 50 age , there are wrapping of memorable , buff - preferent character .

While James Bond will always be seen as the main attraction in the series , there are several   male characters apart from 007 who   specify as " boyfriend - worthy . " Most of these men   are allies to Bond , but there are a couple of alluring scoundrel , too .

Villiers

Villiers has seem in a few Bond picture , but his most recent coming into court do inCasino Royale , with the office being portrayed byOutlander’sown Tobias Menzies . Villiers does n’t have an action - heavy role , with the character working as M ’s assistant and secretaire .

While the Menzies version of Villiers has only appear inCasino Royale , he register himself to have attractive qualities such as immediate thinking   ( Villiers helped save Bond ’s life ) and a sharp sentiency of bodily fluid as he hold his own   when bantering with Bond , making Villiers a total grab .

Charles Robinson

Much like Villiers , Charles Robinson ( played byArrow’sColin Salmon ) did n’t have many vista in the James Bond series . Despite appear in every Brosnan Bond photographic film except forGoldeneye , the   character did n’t appear in many of the action set pieces , either .

That being said , Robinson has   enough attractive lineament to be see BF - worthy , admit a snazzy sensation   of style , word , and humour to match James Bond himself , with Robinson often trading jibes with 007 .

Saunders

Saunders only appear in Timothy Dalton’sThe Living Daylights , with the character supporting James Bond on his mission to smuggle General Koskov from Czechoslovakia into Austria .

While   Saunders only seem in this movie , the unbelievable performance of a young Thomas Wheatley certainly make the character memorable , with some fantastic dialogue with Timothy Dalton ’s Bond showing   Saunders ' unequaled sense of humor , as well as his high - ranking stance , showing his intelligence agency and drive .

Dario

Dario ( playact by a unseasoned Benicio del Toro ) is a in particular villainous character , acting as the proper - helping hand man to the main antagonist   ofLicence to Kill , Sanchez .

However , while Dario is doubtless a unfit guy , Benicio Del Toro plays   him in such a agency that his aura radiates coolness . In improver to his cool , " bad boy " sense of style , he is also fiercely loyal to Sanchez — even if this makes him puts him at odds with Bond .

Alec Trevelyan

The second villain to appear on this listing , Sean Bean ’s Alec Trevelyan is one of the just Bond villains of all time . Originally a British federal agent , Trevelyan is spite on a missionduring the scuttle ofGoldeneyeand ends up becoming a baddie in his own right , run short by the name of Janus .

But   the case is n’t solely irredeemable ( as his pre - villain past show ) and he is also understandably a well - humored and magnetic somebody . He lock in memorable banter with Bond duringthe opening   ofGoldeneye .

Felix Leiter

Felix Leiter is the most well - cognise Bond friend , with the CIA factor appear inthe first Bond movie , Dr. No , and continuing to make appearances over the decades , with Jeffrey Wright being the most late actor to portray him .

Felix Leiter is very much the " American Bond " and this is what makes him so eligible , with Wright ’s Leiter in peculiarly being a loyal , brave , and intelligent type with a subtle wit .

Mathis

Perhaps one of the most underrated characters inthe Daniel Craig era , René Mathis was a confidant of Bond , help the British factor in his poker match against Le Chiffre . However , Casino Royaleended with adherence believing , quite wrongly , that Mathis had betray him .

Mathis is surely a " silver fox , " with a Mediterranean sense of stylus and a subtle , dry   sense of humor . In improver to those BF - suitable lineament , he also register his allegiance to James Bond — even if it did be him his lifespan . It ’s a material pity that he could n’t make further appearances in the Bond franchise , as his conversations with Bond were always fantastically entertaining .

M

James Bond ’s party boss , M is a prominent feature of the   007 mythos . Despite being act by several different   mass over the age , the most recent thespian to take on the character is Voldemort himself , Ralph Fiennes .

Like James Bond , this forward-looking version of M has experience in the field and is often drawn into using it during the movies   — making him far more of an military action hero than his harbinger . Despite appearing to be fairly stale to his colleague , M has shown himself to be very intrepid , willing to put his lifespan on the crinkle for his friend   — or romanticist partners ?

Tanner

Much like Villiers , Tanner is M ’s writing table and has appear in every Julian Bond film fromQuantum of SolacetoSpectre . Portrayed by Rory Kinnear , Tanner has had some memorable scenes in the most late movies .

While Tanner does n’t have much to do on the action front ,   he is sure a memorable character due to his entertaining   interactions with Bond , where buff can see Tanner ’s unique stain of humor shine through . In addition to a sense of humor , Tanner has shown himself to be a hard prole and implausibly loyal to M. Humor , solid employment ethic , and allegiance are all fantabulous BF characteristics .

Q

Q is one of the most iconic Julian Bond eccentric . He has been portray by Desmond Llewellyn , John Cleese ( who technically played radius ) , and Ben Wishaw .

Wishaw ’s variation of Q is an endearing , cardigan - wearing technophile who has a perfect rapport with Daniel Craig ’s Bond , showing a clever sensory faculty of humour that can pair James Bond ’s own wit . moreover , Q ’s dearest of earl grey tea would also make for some fantastic cosy relaxation clip .
