[edit] Jack Wade

James Bond character
Jack Wade
Gender Male
Affiliation CIA
Portrayed by Joe Don Baker

Jack Wade is a fictional character in Pierce Brosnan's first two James Bond films: GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies. Wade, played by Joe Don Baker, is 007's CIA contact, presumably taking over the role of Felix Leiter after the events in the 1989 film Licence to Kill.

Wade is named after Kevin Wade, an uncredited screenwriter who wrote the majority of the scenes featuring the character.

[edit] Biography

Baker plays Wade very close to the Ugly American stereotype, acting as a memorable and effective foil to the ultra-suave Bond. However, this should not imply that Wade is any less effective than his predecessor, Leiter. So far Wade has been just as helpful — and just as willing to bend the rules — as Bond's original contact was.

In GoldenEye, Bond and Wade initially didn't get along, as Wade had no patience for the cloak-and-dagger codes and passwords that "stiff-assed Brits" like Bond relied on. They quickly grew to like each other, however, as they shared a disdain for rules and official etiquette. Through his access to CIA intelligence and Marine forces, Wade helped Bond foil Alec Trevelyan's plan to rob the British government of millions. Wade tends to give nicknames to Bond, including "Jimmy" and "Jimbo." He also has a tattoo of a rose from his third marriage that says "Muffy."

At the end of Goldeneye, he revealed that he had several squads of Marines as well as three attack helicopters standing by as "backup" for Bond.

Wade was not present in The World Is Not Enough or Die Another Day. In Die Another Day, however, there were two NSA agents, Giacinta 'Jinx' Johnson (played by Halle Berry), and Damian Falco (played by Michael Madsen).

[edit] Casting

Baker had previously played a villain, Brad Whitaker, in the first Timothy Dalton Bond film, The Living Daylights. This casting parallels that of Charles Gray, who first played Bond's contact, Henderson, in You Only Live Twice and later Ernst Stavro Blofeld in Diamonds Are Forever.

The character of Wade is similar to that of CIA agent Darius Jedburgh, played by Baker in the 1985 BBC Television serial Edge of Darkness. The serial was also directed by Martin Campbell, who cast Baker as Wade in GoldenEye.

Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky
Gender Male
Affiliation KGB/Russian Mafia
Portrayed by Robbie Coltrane

Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky is a fictional character in two of Pierce Brosnan's James Bond films: GoldenEye and The World Is Not Enough.

[edit] Biography

Zukovsky is an ex-KGB agent turned Russian mafia head who runs a bar, a casino, and a caviar factory. When he was younger (and a KGB agent), a conflict with James Bond ended with Zukovsky having a limp. Jack Wade: "You shot him in the leg, you stole his car, you took his girl, and now you want Valentin Zukovsky to set you up with Janus?" After leaving the KGB, Zukovsky initially held a grudge against Bond, but this disappeared when dealing with Bond could make him a profit. Played by Robbie Coltrane, Zukovsky makes two appearances in the films before being shot and mortally wounded by Elektra King in The World Is Not Enough. He lives long enough after being shot to execute a trick shot using a gun hidden within his cane that allows Bond to escape King's trap. There was a deleted scene in which Bond later checks Zukovsky's pulse.
