Robert Brown(1921-2003)

Succeeded Bernard Lee as M in the James Bond films. However, it is not known 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 Der Spion, der mich liebte (1977). In James Bond 007 - Die Welt ist nicht genug (1999), Brown's picture also does not appear in the office of the next M, Judi Dench, but Lee's does. However, later in James Bond 007: Keine Zeit zu sterben (2021) a picture of Brown's M could be seen in a hall.
