Elliot Carver - Cast

Cast

  • Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, MI6 agent 007.
  • Jonathan Pryce as Elliot Carver, a media mogul modelled on Robert Maxwell, but analysed as a satire on Rupert Murdoch. He is completely insane and possibly even psychopathic, with scant regard for any of the lives destroyed or simply taken as a result of his media ambition.

  • Teri Hatcher as Paris Carver, a former girlfriend of Bond who is now Carver's trophy wife.
  • Götz Otto as Richard Stamper, Carver's henchman, who is skilled in the art of Chakra torture.
  • Ricky Jay as Henry Gupta, an American "Techno-terrorist" in the employ of Carver. Bruce Feirstein said he named this character after a Gupta Bakery, which he passed on the way to the studios.
  • Joe Don Baker as Jack Wade, CIA liaison, reprising his role from GoldenEye.
  • Vincent Schiavelli as Dr. Kaufman, a professional assassin used by Elliot Carver.

Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “If you are cast in a different mould to the majority, it is no merit of yours: Nature did it.”
    —Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)

    “Such is the remorseless progression of human society, shedding lives and souls as it goes on its way. It is an ocean into which men sink who have been cast out by the law and consigned, with help most cruelly withheld, to moral death. The sea is the pitiless social darkness into which the penal system casts those it has condemned, an unfathomable waste of misery. The human soul, lost in those depths, may become a corpse. Who shall revive it?”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
    —Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 8:12.

    Referring to “the children of the kingdom ... cast out into outer darkness.” The words are also used in the parable of the talents, in Matthew 25:30, said of the “unprofitable servant.”
