Speaking in an interview, Brian explained that the role has helped him to tick off a career milestone: "Now I can finally say I’ve been in a Bond production. I’ve never been in a Bond movie, and I always thought I’d be a very good Bond villain."
In the interview, Brian also revealed that his favourite all-time Bond actor is the late Scottish actor Sir Sean Connery. Brian explained: "It has to be Sean Connery. The real James Bond would have been frightfully, frightfully posh, not like Sean at all. So that was wonderful to see. I was extremely proud that another Scot had fooled everybody to such distraction that they cast him in a wonderful lead role, and he brought something unique to it."
The new series comes after Daniel Craig made his final appearance in the Bond film series in 2021, with no sequel actor confirmed for any future films.
007: Road To A Million airs on Prime Video from Friday 10 November 2023.
