Robert Brown (I) (1921–2003)

Actor

Trivia:

Succeeded Bernard Lee as M in the James Bond films. However, it is not know if he is meant to be the same character, Admiral Sir Miles Messervy, or a different character promoted to be director of MI6. Complicating matters is the fact that Brown played a different character in The Spy Who Loved Me. Brown's picture also does not appear in the office of the next M, Judi Dench, but Lee's does.
