Besides the six official James Bond actors, there are others as well ranging from video games to a TV episode. These actors have played 007 roles that are not part of Eon's 007 film series, comprising of 25 films.
Barry Nelson[]
James "Jimmy" Bond appeared in the Climax episode "Casino Royale", a television adaptation of Fleming's first novel which aired in 1954. Though this is regarded as the first onscreen appearance of the character James Bond, the character is an American agent with "Combined Intelligence". He was portrayed by the late Barry Nelson.
As soon as he arrives at Casino Royale, Bond narrowly survives an assassination attempt and pairs up with his contact; British Intelligence officer, Clarence Leiter, who remembers "Card Sense Jimmy Bond" from when he played Maharajah of Deauville. While Bond explains the rules of baccarat, Leiter explains Bond's mission: to defeat SMERSH operative Le Chiffre at baccarat and force his Soviet spymasters to "retire" him.
Jimmy then encounters a former lover and French agent of the Deuxième Bureau, Valerie Mathis, who is Le Chiffre's current girlfriend. Her allegiance is under question throughout the episode, but concludes with her siding with Bond.
Bond beats Le Chiffre at baccarat but, when he returns to his hotel room, is confronted by Le Chiffre and his bodyguards. Le Chiffre tortures Bond in order to find out where Bond has hidden the cheque for his winnings, but Bond does not reveal where it is. After a fight between Bond and Le Chiffre's guards, Bond shoots and wounds Le Chiffre, saving Valerie in the process.
Exhausted, Bond sits in a chair opposite Le Chiffre to talk. Mathis gets in between them and Le Chiffre grabs her from behind, threatening her with a concealed razor blade. As Le Chiffre moves towards the door with Mathis as a shield, she struggles, breaking free slightly and Bond is able to shoot Le Chiffre.
David Niven[]
Sir James Bond 007, a legendary British spy who had retired from the secret service 50 years previously, is visited by the head of British Secret Service, M, CIA representative Ransome, KGB representative Smernov, and Deuxième Bureau representative Le Grand. All implore Bond to come out of retirement to deal with SMERSH who have been eliminating agents: Bond spurns all their pleas. When Bond continues to stand firm, his mansion is destroyed by a mortar attack at the orders of M, who is, however, killed in the explosion. Bond travels to Scotland to return M's remains to the grieving widow, Lady Fiona McTarry. However, the real Lady Fiona has been replaced by SMERSH's Agent Mimi. The rest of the household have been likewise replaced, with SMERSH’s aim to discredit Bond by destroying his "celibate image". Attempts by a bevy of beauties to seduce Bond fail, but Mimi/Lady Fiona becomes so impressed with Bond that she changes loyalties and helps Bond to foil the plot against him. On his way back to London, Bond survives another attempt on his life by a radio-controlled vehicle loaded with explosives.
With McTarry dead, Bond is promoted to the head of the British Secret Service (and inexplicably loses his earlier speech stammer). He learns that many British agents around the world have been eliminated by enemy spies because of their inability to resist sex. Bond is also told that the 'sex maniac' who was given the name of 'James Bond' when the original Bond retired has gone to work in television. He then orders that all remaining agents will be named "James Bond 007", to confuse SMERSH. He also creates a rigorous programme to train male agents to ignore the charms of women. Moneypenny recruits "Coop", a karate expert who begins training to resist seductive women: he also meets an exotic agent known as the Detainer.
Bond then hires Vesper Lynd, a retired agent turned millionaire, to recruit baccarat expert Evelyn Tremble, whom he intends to use to beat SMERSH agent Le Chiffre. Having embezzled SMERSH's money, Le Chiffre is desperate for money to cover up his theft before he is executed. Following up a clue from agent Mimi, Bond persuades his estranged daughter Mata Bond to travel to East Berlin to infiltrate International Mothers' Help, a school for spies that is a SMERSH cover operation. There, Mata foils Le Chiffre's plan to raise funds by selling compromising photographs of the world's military leaders in an "art auction". Le Chiffre's only remaining option is to raise the money by playing baccarat. After losing to Tremble, SMERSH agents raid Le Chiffre's base and kill him for his failure.
In London, Mata Bond is kidnapped by SMERSH in a giant flying saucer, and Sir James and Moneypenny travel to Casino Royale to rescue her. They discover that the casino is located atop a giant underground headquarters run by the evil Dr. Noah, who turns out to be Sir James's nephew Jimmy Bond. Jimmy secretly leaves the British Secret Service to defect to SMERSH to take a new role of killing spies. Jimmy reveals that he plans to use biological warfare to make all women beautiful and kill all men over 4' 6" (1.37m) tall, leaving him as the "big man" who gets all the girls. Jimmy has already captured The Detainer, and he tries to convince her to be his partner; she agrees, but only to dupe him into swallowing one of his "atomic time pills", turning him into a "walking atomic bomb". Sir James, Moneypenny, Mata and Coop manage to escape from their cell and fight their way back to the Casino Director's office where Sir James establishes Lynd is a double agent. The casino is then overrun by secret agents and a battle ensues. American and French support arrive, but just add to the chaos. Eventually, Jimmy's atomic pill explodes, destroying Casino Royale with everyone inside. Sir James and all of his agents then appear in heaven, and Jimmy Bond is shown descending to hell.
Jason Carter[]
Portrayed by actor Jason Carter in voice only, the character appeared in the Electronic Arts' 2004 video-game GoldenEye: Rogue Agent. Carter's Bond was unable to use the likeness of Bond actor Pierce Brosnan due to his retiring from the roll after 2004's Everything or Nothing, and instead used a generic model and Carter's voice.
Bond was assigned to take a training mission with A fellow 00 Agent in a virtual reality simulator. The mission was to eliminate a nuclear device inside Fort Knox set by Auric Goldfinger with the intention of irradiating the United States supply of gold in order to throw the global economy into chaos.
While on the helicopter ride in, Bond and his partner's craft was shot down, and fell through the ground, and into the facility. After the crash, Bond was caught hanging by his ankle from the helicopter over the edge of a balcony. Bond attempted to free himself, but fell to his death.
After his partner failed to stop the explosive device, the two were taken out of the simulator, and his partner was fired for being too reckless. Bond continued to work for the SIS.
