Cast
- Neil Connery as Dr. Neil Connery
- Connery is actually the younger brother of the then-current portrayer of James Bond, Sean Connery, and strongly resembles Sean, except that in this film he sports a beard. Neil Connery’s voice is dubbed by an actor with an American accent. In an interview in Cinema Retro, Connery said that he was undergoing medical treatment for appendicitis when voice dubbing of the film was in progress, leading another person to voice his lines in the English version. Although the "kid brother" of the title — who is actually referred to by the name Connery in this film — has little in the way of secret agent skills, he is an expert at hypnotism and archery as well as some deadly martial arts.
- Bernard Lee as Commander Cunningham
- Lee played the role of M in eleven Bond films, beginning in 1962 with Dr. No until 1979’s Moonraker.
- Lois Maxwell as Miss Maxwell
- Lois Maxwell played the role of Miss Moneypenny in fourteen Bond films from 1962’s Dr. No until 1985’s A View to a Kill. Maxwell’s character in this film, though superficially similar to Moneypenny, is more proactive, carrying and using a submachine gun, and at one point abducting another character by force.
- Daniela Bianchi as Maya Rafis
- Bianchi portrayed Tatiana Romanova, a Bond girl in the second James Bond film, From Russia with Love.
- Adolfo Celi as Mr. Thai (Beta), the second in command of the terrorist organisation known as THANATOS.
- Adolfo Celi portrayed Emilio Largo in 1965’s Thunderball.
- Anthony Dawson as Alpha, the first in command of THANATOS.
- Anthony Dawson played two roles in the James Bond films, the first being Professor Dent in Dr. No. He later took on the role of Ernst Stavro Blofeld in both From Russia with Love and Thunderball, but only Dawson’s hands were seen in these films.
- Yachuco Yama as Miss Yashuko
- Agata Flori as Mildred
- Franco Giacobini as Juan
The film also featured Ana María Noé as Lotte Krayendorf, who strongly resembled Lotte Lenya's portrayal of Rosa Klebb in From Russia with Love.

Famous quotes containing the word cast:
“The old man had heard that there was a wreck and knew most of the particulars, but he said that he had not been up there since it happened. It was the wrecked weed that concerned him most ... and those bodies were to him but other weeds which the tide cast up, but which were of no use to him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When such as I cast out remorse
So great a sweetness flows into the breast
We must laugh and we must sing,
We are blest by everything,
Everything we look upon is blest.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I have a notion that gamblers are as happy as most people, being always excited; women, wine, fame, the table, even ambition, sate now & then, but every turn of the card & cast of the dice keeps the gambler alive—besides one can game ten times longer than one can do any thing else.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
