As you all know, Michael G. Wilson started making his official cameos from Moonraker on. Which one in your opinion was the most difficult one for you to find?

Moonraker- He is walking on the right of the screen with his son in front of the glass shop. He is also the technician that describes the diameter of the space station.

For Your Eyes Only- He is a dressed up as a priest in the first second of the Greece scene when Bond goes to meet Q in church.

Octopussy- He is sitting on the far left chair in the Kremlin room. He is also the guy in the white shirt who helps Bond onto the tourist boat.

A View To A Kill- VOICE ONLY His voice can be heard faintly when Bond and Stacey are opening the door to the file room in the bank at night.

The Living Daylights- He is two seats to the right of Saunders at the opera. The girl in the white is his wife.

Licence To Kill- VOICE ONLY His voice can be heard in the opening of the film saying, "He's landing at Cray Key." "If they hurry, they can grab the bastard."

GoldenEye- He is sitting at the table when Mishkin and Ourumov meet. There are several close-ups of his face.

Tomorrow Never Dies- He is Mr. Wallace, one of the newspeople in Carver's press room. His lines are, "Inspired sir." and "Consider him slimed."

The World Is Not Enough- He hands Elektra a check to sign in the casino scene.

Die Another Day- He is leaning on a pink car when the Cuba scene has just started and Bond is walking by. He is also General Chandler, who orders that troops be mobilized in the ending sequence.


In my opinion, his most difficult cameo to find is A View To A Kill. His voice is SO QUIET! You have to listen so well when Bond and Stacey are walking towards the file room in the bank.


What is your opinion of his most difficult cameo?

Doesn't he have a visual one in AVTAK too?

I'll have to check that out. BTW, this is the first time i've seen someone do a complete Cameo List. Great job!

Aside from this, he's in Goldfinger aswell isn't he? That must be the hardest to find because I've not seen him in that.

I've heard that Michael Wilson has had cameos in all Bond films since Goldfinger. Apparently he played a soldier (I haven't been able to spot him yet) and he also stood in for Harold Sakata in the scene where Odd Job is driving the light blue car, returning from the junkyard. Also I think that he can be seen in the Spy Who Loved Me. Look for a bearded guy sitting in the row behind Anya and Fekkesh at the pyramid light show.

Another good one (although I don't know if this really counts) is in Goldeneye.

While the lovely Xenia is crushing the Admiral, a hand comes into the scene to take his ID off his uniform. It's Wilson's.

The only reason I know this is from listening to the commentary track on the DVD, but I guess it still counts eh?

You missed his "Goldfinger" and TSWLM cameos.

I havent noticed a lot of his cameos . The only ones ive noticed are Goldeneye , TND, and DAD . Its ok for me ive only been a fan for about a year.

Here is the list according to The Bond Informant:

Goldfinger: Michael Wilson's first appearance in the movies was before he became properly involved in producing them. He apparently appears as a guard in the third movie.

The Spy Who Loved Me: He is sat in the row behind Anya and Fekkesh at the pyramid show.


Moonraker: He can be seen in the background when Bond steps out of his gondola on arriving in Venice (he is with Cubby and Dana Broccoli). Later in the film he appears as a NASA controller who comments on Drax's space station after its cloaking device has been disabled.

For You Eyes Only: He appears as a Greek priest in the scene when Bond meets with Q in a church.

Octopussy: He plays a member of the Soviet security council and is also on the tour boat that saves Bond when he is escaping from Khan's palace.

A View To A Kill: He provides the voice that can be faintly heard when Bond and Stacey use the lift when they return to San Francisco City Hall at night.

The Living Daylights: He appears in the audience when Bond and Kara attend the opera in Vienna - he is sat next-but-one to Saunders.

Licence To Kill: He provides the voice heard at the start of the pre-credits sequence which says "If they hurry, they might just be able to grab the bastard."

GoldenEye: He appears as one of the members of the Russian security council (possibly intentional continuity with Octopussy).

Tomorrow Never Dies: He plays Tom Wallace, the vice president of CMGN in charge of special projects, seen in a video conference with Carver. He's the one instructed to blackmail the US President with a video tape of his encounters with a cheerleader.

The World Is Not Enough: He is stood in the doorway of the private gaming room at Zukovsky's casino. He hands Elektra something to sign before she gambles her money.

Die Another Day: He plays General Chandler and is credited for the first time, despite being barely glimpsed in the US situation room in South Korea. He also appears briefly earlier in the film when he can be seen in Cuba, leaning against a car as Bond crosses a street.
