Book ’Em, Bond, James Bond

I’m an unapologetic trivia enthusiast, so could have been guaranteed to latch onto The HMSS Weblog’s new post about connections between the James Bond film series and the long-running U.S. TV crime drama, Hawaii Five-O. Just one link among many:

Jack Lord: played the screen’s first Felix Leiter in Dr. No while also playing Five-O’s Steve McGarrett through the entire run of the series. Rose Freeman, widow of Five-O creator Leonard Freeman, told fans attending a 1996 Five-O convention in the Los Angeles area that Lord was cast only five days before production of the pilot began.
