Fan Casting Q in Portrait of a Lady

The keeper of the toys, the guardian of the Aston Martin DB-V he was ordered to junk and could not bear to destroy. He is the service's institutional memory, a man who has armed agents for decades and mourned every one who did not return. When Bond falls, he does not retreat into gadgets and silence—he explodes, turning years of suppressed grief into a fury that shocks even the bureaucrats who thought him harmless. His reunion with Bond is the film's quiet heart: two old soldiers, still standing, still fighting, still refusing to become obsolete.
