20 James Bond Easter Eggs You Never Noticed

12. John Barry Plays Himself (Kind Of) - The Living Daylights

It's easy to recognise John Barry's work behind the scenes - he worked on the soundtrack for almost every Bond film from Dr. No to The Living Daylights, and is the man responsible for the main Bond theme, one of the most famous movie motifs ever. In front of the camera, however, Barry's not so easy to spot. You probably didn't clock him, for one, in The Living Daylights. Nonetheless, there Barry is in the film's concerto scene, essentially playing himself as the conductor of the orchestra. It's a fitting farewell cameo (this is the last time Barry would work on a Bond movie).
