I'd find it amusing to have Ian Ogilvy as James Bond.  For those of you who
don't know him, he played Simon Templar in "The New Adventures of the Saint". 
(He also played Tiberius's kid brother (Drusus?) in "I, Claudius".)

I've gotten used to Roger Moore as Bond, but it took me a while: when I first
saw him my gut reaction was "He's not James Bond, he's the Saint!"  Later on, I
saw Ogilvy as the Saint, and as I got used to that, I found myself accepting
Moore as Bond.  Now I hear I may have to get used to *Ogilvy* as Bond.  Sigh.

One reason I got used to Ogilvy as the Saint was that I saw one of the old
1930's Saint movies.  I forget who played him, but whoever he was, he looked an
awful lot like Ian Ogilvy.  Maybe if I found a movie where the Saint looked like
Sean Connery....
