Sam Neill
A pre-“Jurassic Park” Sam Neill certainly would have been an interesting choice for James Bond. Having played a similar role in the television series “Reilly, Ace of Spies,” the New Zealand actor apparently impressed the majority of studio executives in his audition for Bond. While he ultimately didn’t get the gig, Neill later stated that he was forced into the audition by his agent, and that he would never want to play Bond anyway.
