Prolific British actor George Baker played three minor roles across the span of ten years.

In You Only Live Twice, he has an uncredited appearance as a NASA engineer. In the franchise's next film he plays Sir Hilary Bray, a genealogist from the London College of Arms who (reluctantly) allows Bond to impersonate him in order to infiltrate Blofeld's clinic.

Then, some years later, he played a naval commander who was having a meeting with MI6 about a missing nuclear submarine.

Interestingly, he was considered by Ian Fleming to be the ideal choice for playing James Bond, but Baker had other commitments and Sean Connery was cast instead.
