Thanks to @Baltimore_007 for making something that was able to last a while. Truly the King of this contest.
Oh, absolutely. Nobody ever comes close to creating the rounds of such length like Baltimore does. Continuous props to him! I think I've handled this thing twice and it's usually answered within ten guesses or so.
When you guess correctly, your the game master next. Your turn to select a character for us to guess.
It's up to you. :)
Sounds good.
And I do hate to derail this round, but can we please get a breakdown of the clues, Baltimore? After a round as great as that, it would be a shame not to see what everything meant.
#1 Something unpleasant got a little too close to me

#5 I should of stayed in bed
"IT JUST WASN'T MY DAY" (CONNERY QUOTE WHEN PUSHED OVERBOARD)
#6 Some would say, I have a pleasant odor
VENDOR OF FLOWERS THAT INVARIBLY GENERATE A PLEASANT SMELL
#7 I was in the dark, but then things became clearer - in more ways than one
IT WAS STARTING TO GET LIGHT WHEN YOU FIRST SEE ME EXPECTING GRANT FROM THE TRAIN - DAY SOON FOLLOWED, AND WAS UNABLE TO DETECT WHAT WAS GOING ON WHEN GRANT DID NOT APPEAR, BUT BOND ON THE SCENE PUT THINGS TOGETHER
#8 What goes up, must come down
REFERENCE TO THE HELICOPTER SEQUENCE
#9 I don't necessarily need words, or emotions, to show displeasure
I GRUMBLED OR HAD A LOOK OF DISADAIN WHEN CONNERY SHOT DOWN THE HELICOPTER
#10 I was bound to get into some problems
MY BELT TIED MY ARMS BEHIND MY BACK
#11 I saw an arrival. I saw a departure
THE TRAIN ARRIVED EXPECTING GRANT, THE TRAIN LEFT AFTER CONNERY AND ROMANOVA GOT OFF
#12 Something was taken off me - one more than one occasion
THE KEYS, THE BELT, THE KNIFE ETC
#13 Someone made things awkward for me - they later did me a favor
BOND TIED MY ARMS BEHIND ME, HE LATER RELEASED ME

A LARGE SPLASH WHEN ENTERING THE WATER

#30 At some stage or another, I was in a wrong position
CAN'T QUITE REMEMBER WHAT THAT RELATED TO, BUT MORE OR LESS WHEN THE GRENADES ARE BEING DROPPED ON THE TRUCK AND CONNERY DRIVING, AND MYSELF IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SOMETHING TO DO WITH A SEATING POSITION
#31 Three is not always the greatest number
CONNERY AND ROMANOVA WANT TO BE ALONE ON THE BOAT AND I WAS A LOOSE PASSENGER

HANDS TIED BEHIND MY BACK
#43 There was a game of hide and seek - that I did not win
COULD NOT FIND GRANT - DID NOT SEE BOND HIDING - I LOST OUT
#44 It looked for a while as though my time had come - but survived to see another day
PUT AT INCREDIBLE RISK MY WAY OF THE GRENADE ATTACK ON THE TRUCK I WAS IN, BUT LIVED TO TELL
#45 I was told which direction to go, that seemed rather obvious
PUTTING FOOT ON THE BOAT AT END OF TRUCK RIDE, CONNERY SAYS "THIS WAY PLEASE" (NO OTHER DIRECTION TO TAKE)

#48 I had little choice but to comply with what someone requested

#49 I saw some explosive action - but missed out on more

#50 I had a good seat for some entertainment
SAT IN THE TRUCK WHEN CONNERY ATTEMPTS TO SHOOT DOWN THE ENEMY HELICOPTER (AND IS SUCCESSFUL), AND BOND RUNNING AROUND TRYING TO STAY OUT OF HARMS WAY BEFORE IT
There completes All answers to clues for the last round
+++
I probably put a little too much faith in upper management.
No more apples would have sprung from this land if my job had seen completion.
I can be seen hobnobbing with the Elite or I can be found in the lowest of places.
If I even had a little bit of an aptitude for reading people, I probably could have seen things going the way they did much earlier.
Death is just out of sight in water and in air.
I wore the appropriate equipment, it didn’t seem to make a difference.
I come across as friendly, but I’m actually a crude individual.
My last job had me dealing with something that was the focus of another Bond film
Bond takes something from me upon our first meeting, but I don’t notice. I’m not the only one.
Ringo Starr and I have some things in common.
If a certain large vegetable had done a little more of a background check, I wouldn’t look like me. (I will be very impressed if someone puts this last clue together)

My next guess (not at all confident): Gustav Graves?
