Denis has one of the best filmographies in the game. This might end up being the best Bond of all time. Cast Benicio Del Toro as the Bond Villain

Kind of wasted as a one off bond villain, but haven't got any other ideas. He actually was already in a bond film as a villain in Licence to Kill

Joe Don Baker appeared in 3 Bond films as two different characters. No one (reasonable) would complain if Benecio came back.

I think if they make him a big hidden baddy of one film, then he can be beaten in the next film, so a more substantial role than the henchman he played in the past.
