I saw Sam Neill walking along the waterfront today in Vancouver and thought that he looked really tall. I am 5'10" and he is definitely taller than I am.

Neill in fact played James Bond - sort of. He played Sidney Reilly the "Ace of Spies". The character James Bond was partly based on Reilly.

Sam Neill is just about as tall as a real spy should be. Connery was much too tall and handsome. Spies are supposed to be inconspicous. In the sixties Connery made a stunning first impression. If you had been in a room with him then you would certainly have remembered him, which is all wrong for a spy. Spies should be medium sized rather gray and unremarkable looking men.

Sam Neill is also a bit too tall and much too handsome to have been a spy.

Neill would have been a good Bond. BTW only 3 bonds were English. Moore, Dalton and Craig. Connery is a Scot, Brosnan is Irish and the very first Bond was an American. Actor Barry Nelson played Bond in an American TV version of Casino Royale from 1954.

I saw him last weekend in Vancouver walking with a friend. Really seemed 6"1 the shortest 6"0. I am 5"6 and he was for sure a head taller.

Wyatt, why do you imply Neill is not British? He was born in Northern Ireland and educated in New Zealand. But you're certainly right about George Lazenby. And I agree, Neill would have been a wonderful Bond, and is certainly taller than Daniel Craig, much closer in fact than anyone else to the original Bond height as envisioned by Ian Fleming (six feet even).

he is about 3" shorter than B.Brown.Brown cannot be over 6'1"-6'1.25",so Neill has to be shorter than 6'.I think he is 5'10.5" and Brown is strong 6'1"(1.86m).

@Billijo Maynard, I disagree. James Bond must be British (or be from the British isles). The only bond I can think of that wasn't British was George Lazenby (who was awful).

5'11 flat is a possibilty today.
