[Bond... Raybond]

It was only a quick one this time, but isn't he the bearded guy reading the paper as Bond walks out of the Haiti hotel after collecting the briefcase?

[DamnCoffee]

Yeah, that's him. I noticed him first time.

You guys amaze me... Did you go through a special training to be able to spot a bearded MGW in a crowd?

He wasn't that difficult to spot you know. Actually, come to think of it, I think the camera was actually on him!

I tured round to say something to my friend, I turned back, looked at the sceen and there he was!

[Invincible1958]

It was very easy to spot him.
There is no one there besides him an Bond in that scene. So everyone who knows Michael G. Wilson should recognize him as he isn't even in some kind of costume. He's just sitting there looking like Michael G. Wilson.

[Qwerty]

Sounds good to me. Glad its not as big a cameo as he had in films like Casino Royale and Die Another Day.

[Vauxhall]

Yes, it's a very subtle one, despite the camera lingering on him for quite some time!

Because that one is so fleeting perhaps he's also elsewhere in the movie. No inside info here, just a suggestion.

Hope not. The more difficult to find the cameo, the better.

[Captain Tightpants]

It's kind of like Where's Wally, isn't it? But instead, it's a case of Where's Wilson?

[bonds_walther]

It was an easy spot this time around!

[Zorin Industries]

Does he have any legs? He's always sat down in his cameos.

[Jim]

He is always naked from the waist down. So I've heard*.

I believe in the Quantum Of Solace draft I have, he plays Razell Spontiff, a Lithuanian member of Greene Planet (the full backstory is the in original John Gardner novella). Originally, Spontiff was supposed to have got involved with the fight with Bond and Slate (the script notes say "like the Saida fight in MWGG") but I think it was re-written after MGW sprained his shoulder while training with stuntman Gary Powell for the scene. I believe Craig (and many other crew members including a Best Boy who was actually working on another scene) actually hit Wilson several times during rehearsals as the stunt team were selling tickets to impersonate a stuntman just to hit the producer*





*_{this is utter nonsense - completely made up}

[Blonde Bond]

Yes, it was very easy to spot him. There were only two other people in the room. I was a little amazed that it was that easy!

It took longer for me to notice him in Goldeneye. But then again, I haven't always known how the producers looked like

[AgentBentley]

I noticed the guy with the paper - thinking 'hey there's another white guy in that hotel' - but I didn't catch it was Wilson.

[NotAnAcronym]

Boy, he's surely getting old. He almost looks like Sean Connery on his last crusade...

Well, blast! I've seen it twice now and didn't even notice him. I was probably thinking of Olga and too distacted to praise Mickey G.'s Oscar worthy performance.
I guess I'll catch another showing.............

[dinovelvet]

So how come Bond didn't recognize the former Montenegro chief of police sitting right there in the hotel lobby?

[The Richmond Spy]

*made up.

Everyone I know thinks the same thing. So, it must be true!

[Mr. Blofeld]

I caught him first thing; Bond takes the suitcase, the camera pans around, and... "Holy smokes, was that Michael G. Wilson?"

[dennisbolt]

If I am not mistaken he actually has speaking roles in GoldenEye (A russian general?) and TND (on a teleconferecne with the bad media mogul?)

[DaveBond21]

Yes, he also has a speaking role in Moonraker, and he's the first voice we hear in Licence to Kill.

[Mr. Somerset]

Michael G. Wilson is my hero.

[007Travis]

Yeah, that's him. I noticed him first time.

Me too!

No, I don't think he speaks in GE. He justs sits with the other Ruskies. In TND , yes he speaks on the giant screen.
And yes, I noticed him and pointed him out to wifey during the movie.
