I know. You'd think American scriptwriters/directors would play up his role, out of pointless jingoism if nothing else ("Look! It's an American! Because obviously U.S. audiences could never identify with a British guy!"), but they rarely do.

I've heard he's going to be in the movie version of Casino Royale, but they've already cast a blond guy as Bond, so I have no faith in their ability to get Felix right.

WTF, how can Bond be blond? He's supposed to be tall, dark, and handsome. That's part of the point.
