Jack Lord was probably the best and all the rest were as forgettable as each other. I really dont think Leiter has been portrayed well in the movies at all, heres hoping that if he's in CR they do a better job with him.

Was reading Benson's Bedside companion the other day and was surprised to see he didn't like Lord's Felix Leiter much at all.
Really? What did he say about him?
I always liked him...but thought at times he didn't seem as easy going as Fleming had intended him to be.

1) Jack Lord
2) David Hedison
3) Cecil
4) John Terry (awful)
On the audio commentary for Dr No, i think it was mentioned that certain production members were worried that Jack Lord would overshadow Sean Connery. Maybe this is why he didn't return in future films.
Cecil (GF) whilst not that bad, was a very odd choice. Like others have mentioned he seems far too old to have had a prior rappor with Connery's 007.

who cares he was the best Leiter and really if he were to be in more the only ones he could be in would be Goldfinger and Thunderball for better continuity

He didn't return because Eon refused to pay him the same amount of money as Connery.Maybe this is why he didn't return in future films.
Really?
I've also heard that Felix was played by different actors in subsequent movies (except in the case of Hedison) precisely so that he would not overshadow 007.

No surprise there, Qwerty. They are the two worst, IMO, because they seem to fit that stereotype somebody mentioned that older, heavier Leiters were cast sometimes to make Bond appear younger and better looking, which I suspect meant more in a film like DAF, where Connery wasn't looking his best.Not a single vote for Linder or Burton. I would have at least thought that Linder would have pulled a few.

Terry is my absolute least favorite, he really can't act, there's no chemistry between him and Dalton, and he looks like he's 20!

Lord was pretty good too.
Linder wasn't that good, but I'll put him third because I loved him as Inspector Cramer
Bernie Casey
Rick Van Nutter
Norman Burton
John Terry

So, I submit this question to Bond fandom: Who was your favorite Felix from the films and why?
(P.S. Oops! I see my topic was merged. Sorry. I didn't realize that had been a previous thread. My apologies).
