Bond Involvement[]
Tomorrow Never Dies (1999)[]
The third-person shooter Tomorrow Never Dies was developed by Black Ops Entertainment and supervised by Electronic Arts. It was in the style of the Syphon Filter games and the first video game of the franchise with voice acting. For then one of the first actors to be casted in any James Bond game was Andrew Bicknell as Stamper and a bartender that appears in the game.
Agent Under Fire[]
Agent Under Fire originally started as the PS2 and PC versions of The World Is Not Enough, but before going further in development the studios' original plan was to bring Roger Moore to do the Bond role.[1] At the end, however, the behaviours between Moore's interpretation and the one in the game shared lots of similarities. Andrew Bicknell then entered to provide the voice and likeness of Bond. But his casting was not reported broadly and some PS2 magazines, such as PlayStation World, erroneously reported that Bicknell's Bond was an original generic character invented for the game (a "synthetic" character).
Nightfire[]
At one point, he resurfaced as James Bond in James Bond 007: NightFire but was ultimately dropped as Pierce Brosnan replace him as the title character.
