It was a job he never really wanted, but Sam Neill (left) got as far as auditioning as James Bond. In 1985, the Jurassic Park actor starred as Roger Moore's replacement. In a short clip from Neill's screen test, he's recreating a scene from Sean Connery's 1963 film From Russia With Love. In the end, Neill did not impress producers in his role, and the job was ultimately handled to Timothy Dalton. James Brolin (right in his screen test) would have been the man who replaced Roger Moore after five outings as Bond, not Bond. Moore did two screen tests and was actually Bond, but Moore decided to make Octopussy again in 1983, so Brolin was left out in the cold. Sir Michael Caine (inset bottom, as spy Harry Palmer in the Ipcress File) was reportedly given the role of Bond after Sean Connery resigned as a result of You Only Live Twice. Sir Michael, who is now 91, was not keen on playing Bond. Clint Eastwood, who was inset top in A Fistful of Dollars, was considered for the role in the late 1960s, when Bond investors were trying to replace Connery before he relinquished on his decision to rename Connery as the spy. Eastwood left the role.
