As of October 2005, the character of Moneypenny is not expected to appear in the 2006 Bond film, '' Casino Royale ''. Samantha Bond will not be returning to the role, in any event. Moneypenny's first name is not mentioned in any of the films, but is revealed in the 2005 book '' The Moneypenny Diaries ''.

Gogol is played by Walter Gotell . Although with the KGB, Gogol often allies himself with Bond to stave off the possibility of war with The West , an ideal that is not always shared with his comrades. Only in ''For Your Eyes Only'' and ''A View to a Kill'' does Gogol act as an enemy, but even then his actions are benign. He particularly opposes the methods of the villain Max Zorin in ''A View to a Kill''. General Gogol also has a secretary, who is called Miss Rublevitch. Goodnight, Mary Mary Goodnight is Bond's second personal secretary. She first appears in the novel '' On Her Majesty's Secret Service '' and '' You Only Live Twice ''.

Gray, Sir Fredrick Sir Frederick Gray is the Minister Of Defence in the films '' The Spy Who Loved Me '', '' Moonraker '', '' For Your Eyes Only '', '' Octopussy '', '' A View To A Kill '', and '' The Living Daylights ''. He is played by Geoffrey Keen . In ''The Spy Who Loved Me'', Bond is familiar enough with Gray to address him by his first name, but their relationship in later films is more formal. Mathis, Rene A long-time friend of Bond's and an agent of the French secret service, the Deuxieme Bureau. Mathis was a main character in both '' Casino Royale '' and played a supporting character in '' From Russia With Love ''. It was Mathis who captured the SMERSH villain, Rosa Klebb . Mathis also used CPR to keep Bond alive after he was poisoned by Klebb until a doctor arrived. Mathis first appeared on screen in the unofficial 1967 spoof '' Casino Royale '', played by Duncan Macrae . He will also be featured in the official 2006 adaptation of '' Casino Royale ''. In this film Mathis will be an MI6 agent played by Giancarlo Giannini . May May is Bond's loyal and elderly, Scottish housekeeper who is often mentioned in numerous novels by Ian Fleming. She also appeared in several John Gardner novels as well as a cameo in the first Young James Bond novel, '' SilverFin ''. She has yet to make an appearance in any film. Pepper, Sheriff J.W. Sheriff J.W. Pepper is a parish sheriff in Louisiana . He appears in the films '' Live And Let Die '' and '' The Man With The Golden Gun ''. The character, played by Clifton James and mostly used as Comic Relief , is most memorable for his somewhat bigoted attitudes and his tendency to speak loudly about whatever is on his mind. Ponsonby, Loelia Loelia Ponsonby is Bond's shared personal secretary in many James Bond novels. She is also the secretary for 008 and 0011, both of whom share an office with Bond. She retires and is replaced in '' On Her Majesty's Secret Service '' by Mary Goodnight after marrying a member of the Baltic Exchange . For the films, her flirtatious relationship with James is transferred and replaced by Miss Moneypenny. Quarrel Quarrel is a Cayman Islander living in Jamaica . He first appears in the novel '' Live And Let Die '' as Bond's guide while 007 is investigating Mr. Big . He later appears in the novel '' Dr. No '' to aid Bond once again, this time to infiltrate Dr. Julius No 's island, Crab Key. Quarrel only appears in the 1962 film ''Dr. No'' played by John Kitzmiller where likewise in the novel he is killed by Dr. No's mythical "dragon". For the film adaptation of ''Live and Let Die'' Bond teams up with Quarrel's son, Quarrel Jr., played by Roy Stewart . Robinson, Charles Charles Robinson is a senior MI6 operative in the Pierce Brosnan era of films. He first appears in '' Tomorrow Never Dies '' and later '' The World Is Not Enough '', and '' Die Another Day ''. He is played by Colin Salmon . Robinson appears to be M's right-hand and is often seen at her side. When Bond reports in with MI6 he often does so with Robinson. Smithers Smithers is one of Q's assistants. He makes two appearances, the first in '' For Your Eyes Only '' and his last in '' Octopussy ''. He is played by Jeremy Bulloch . Strangways, John John Strangways is a former Lieutenant Commander in the special branch of the RNVR . He makes his first appearance in the novel '' Live And Let Die '' as the chief Secret Service agent in the Caribbean . Strangways is roughly 35 years of age and wears a black patch over one eye. He later appears in the novel '' Dr. No '' where he and his secretary, Mary Trueblood, are assassinated for prying into Dr. Julius No 's business. In the films, Strangways makes his first and only appearance in ''Dr. No'' where, like the novel, he is killed for investigating Dr. No. Contrary to the novel, Strangways does not wear an eye patch in film. He is portrayed by Tim Moxon and voiced by Robert Rietty . Tanner, Bill Bill Tanner is MI6 's Chief of Staff. Tanner is a regular literary character from Fleming and Gardner's novels, as well as Amis' '' Colonel Sun '', but has never been considered a regular cinematic character. His biggest role in the films was in 1981's '' For Your Eyes Only '' in which after the death of Bernard Lee (M), Tanner was given a bigger role to substitute while M was "on leave." In 1965, Kingsley Amis wrote the authorised spin-off ''The Book of Bond, or Every Man His Own 007'', a tongue-in-cheek guide to being a spy. The book is not credited to Amis, but rather to Lt.-Col. William "Bill" Tanner.
Wade, Jack See Also: Jack Wade Jack Wade is an American CIA agent that appears in the films '' GoldenEye '' and '' Tomorrow Never Dies ''. Played by Joe Don Baker , Wade is often considered a semi-replacement in the films for Felix Leiter after the events of '' Licence To Kill ''. Zukovsky, Valentin Dmitrovich Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky is an ex- KGB agent turned Russian mafia head who runs a bar, a casino, and a caviar factory. When he was younger (and a KGB agent), a conflict with James Bond ended with Zukovsky having a limp; however, after leaving KGB, Zukovsky does not keep a grudge towards Bond, especially when dealing with Bond can mean profit. Played by Robbie Coltrane , Zukovsky makes two appearances in the films before being shot and mortally wounded by Elektra King in '' The World Is Not Enough ''. He lives long enough after being shot to execute a trick shot using a gun hidden within his cane that allows Bond to escape King's trap. His first appearance was in '' GoldenEye ''.

00-AGENTS The 00 Branch of MI6 is considered the elite of the Secret Service. These are agents who have proven themselves capable enough in the field to be entrusted with the licence to kill -- the authorisation to, at their own discretion, commit assassination and acts that might be otherwise considered murder in order to complete their missions, without having to seek permission from headquarters first. The film ''The World Is Not Enough'' revealed that the 00 Branch has its own area within MI6 headquarters and its own Insignia , though it is not known if this has always been the case. 00-level agents report directly to M. The following list is of the known members of this elite order who have been referenced in officially licensed James Bond fiction: novels, films, video games, and comic strips. Additional 00-agents are glimpsed in the briefing scenes of ''Thunderball'' and ''The World Is Not Enough'', but no additional information about them is provided. The latter film suggests that at least one 00-agent is a woman. There is fan speculation that suggests that M, being the head of MI6, is also 001, but this is not supported by any novel or film, and in fact Raymond Benson references a 001 in his novel, ''Doubleshot''. Likewise, speculation that only nine 00-agents exist (001-009) is contradicted by Fleming himself in ''Moonraker'', and likewise is contradicted by later writers. In addition to the above, the '' mentions "real life" 00 agents 002 (named Bill Fairbanks as per ''Man with the Golden Gun''), 003 (badly injured in 1951), 008 (died in 1951), 009 (died in 1955 in Hungary ), 0011 (died in 1951).
