4. Dolph Lundgren - A View To A Kill (1985)
In a way, Dolph Lundgren owes his entire career to the James Bond series. Having become a bodyguard for singer/actress Grace Jones, he began a relationship with her, and took on a minor role as a KGB agent in A View To A Kill, in which she played May Day, one of the films principal roles. Pulling a gun on Christopher Walken in his only scene in the film, two years later he be offered the role of Soviet boxer Ivan Drago in Rocky IV, which set him up for a long career in action B-movies.
