<Ul> <Li> Diamonds Are Forever (1971) </Li> </Ul> <Li> Diamonds Are Forever (1971) </Li> <P> In 1973 the Bond franchise introduced a new main lead, Roger Moore, who played Bond for the next twelve years in seven films . To play the part of Leiter in Live and Let Die, an old friend of Moore's was chosen, David Hedison . Pfeiffer and Worrall consider that this friendship comes through, with "genuine chemistry" between the two . Hedison played the role with an understated charm, although the script did not give Leiter much to do . Raymond Benson thought him miscast, but acknowledged that "he's the best Leiter next to Rik Van Nutter ." </P> <P> Hedison returned to play Leiter sixteen years later in Licence to Kill and after another actor had also been in the role . Hedison did not expect to return to the role, saying "I was sure that...(Live and Let Die) would be my first--and last" and Glen was reluctant to cast the 61 - year - old actor, since the role even had a scene parachuting . Hedison was the only actor to play Leiter twice until Jeffrey Wright appeared in both Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace . </P>
