Here's a good picture of William Petersen. Probably how he'd look in Casino Royale were he to play Leiter :)

that's a nice one from him. He's a good actor and I wouldn't mind seeing him as Felix , because he has a strong presence on screen. I would prefer to see the return of Leiter character than seeing Jack Wade for example.

I don't mind Jack Wade, and really wouldnt mind seeing that character again. However, Jack Wade isnt the kind of character that would seem to fit well in a Casino setting, not to mention he'd be replacing a classic character!

Still, I wouldnt mind seeing Wade somewhere down the road again, maybe in a less comic relief role.

Physically, I think Chris Isaak has many of the same qualities as Rick Van Nutter.

Lee Horsley aka Matt Houston. He'd make a great Felix and could bring out the character's Texan qualities. Besides, he's got to be relatively inexpensive to hire.

I see him as kind of being a John Terry type personally.

I think that guy from the first Starship Troopers movie would be good. He reminds me alot of Jack Lord.

If Casper, I'm beginning to disagree. Has he done a whole lot more also?

I'd like to see Donnie Wahlberg play the role.

Though I agree with what some people have said - I don't think Felix will appear in the film, they'll either ignore him or change the character to someone different.

Casper did an awful Tarzan movie. But if they do pick a Felix Leiter... I can't think of anyone else at the moment.

Well dear boy, I don't think EON would dress him quite like that, and wasn't Jack Wade humorous?. :)

Good one Agent76!. :)

I would like to see an older Felix. Someone who could be a kind of Bond father figure.

So, I'd still go along with an actor like Jack Nicholson. I think he would make a great hard bastard, influential and well lived Leiter.

Felix could of reitred from the CIA, and is helping Bond with 'information'.

Cheers,


Ian

Maybe he will be back since he was in Casino Royale and because it looks like they are restarting the series so he could still have legs.

I doubt we'll see him return. There seem to be alot of threads asking this same question lately.
