    It's not Gibson.

    I had a feeling this was going to be a tricky one, but keeping working at it and one of you will get there eventually.

    It's not the winking fish, or the SAS soldier in Gibraltar.

    It's not that, or indeed any portrait. You're looking for a human who appears in the film.

    Haha.

    Not Hector, I'm afraid. Or Jesus.

    Another couple of clues...

    1. Absolutely everything is for my benefit.

    2. Standard lies.

    3. I appear to have ignored the advertising and chosen a glass of wine instead.

    4. The Greene Planet fundraiser and this moment have something very real in common.

    5. Bang bang bang! You're dead.

    6. I may have a twinkle in my eye, but it's impossible to tell.

    7. James Bond will set foot in this building for the first time many years after me.

    8. The scene I am in was filmed in two different locations thousands of miles apart and then pieced together in the editing room. No wonder I can't see what's going on without some help!

    9. I can't hear anything that's being said, but that doesn't matter at all.

    10. "Bombers strike again".

    11. What do Bond, M, Q and Moneypenny all use at the same time? I did the same before any of them.

    12. Bond really doesn't need to be here at all, which is extremely ironic.

    Well done @Birdleson , your persistence has paid off! It is indeed the Man Watching Bond's Sea Burial in YOLT. Here's the scene if you need a reminder:



    Explanations:

    1. Absolutely everything is for my benefit.

    The whole scene is being staged to deceive Bond's enemies into believing he's dead.

    2. Standard lies.

    The Hong Kong Tiger Standard newspaper is on his table with 'fake news' of Bond's death.

    3. I appear to have ignored the advertising and chosen a glass of wine instead.

    His ashtray advertises Gordon's Gin, but he's drinking wine.

    4. The Greene Planet fundraiser and this moment have something very real in common.

    The appearance of a real date in a Bond film, since his newspaper is dated July 9, 1966; much like the 2008 date on the Greene Planet invitation.

    5. Bang bang bang! You're dead.

    A three shot salute is fired as Bond enters the sea.

    6. I may have a twinkle in my eye, but it's impossible to tell.

    The commander quotes from the KJV: "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye". We can't see this man's eyes as his binoculars are in the way.

    7. James Bond will set foot in this building for the first time many years after me.

    The man is at the Hong Kong Royal Yacht Club, as visited by Bond in DAD.

    8. The scene I am in was filmed in two different locations thousands of miles apart and then pieced together in the editing room. No wonder I can't see what's going on without some help!

    He's in Hong Kong, but the funeral scene was filmed on HMS Tenby outside Gibraltar. Not even binoculars would help from that distance.

    9. I can't hear anything that's being said, but that doesn't matter at all.

    Self-explanatory.

    10. "Bombers strike again".

    The other headline on his newspaper.

    11. What do Bond, M, Q and Moneypenny all use at the same time? I did the same before any of them.

    Binoculars, at Zorin's racetrack.

    12. Bond really doesn't need to be here at all, which is extremely ironic.

    The whole scene makes very little sense, much like the 'assassination' before it. Bond's presence and subsequent retrieval is entirely pointless.

    Outstanding clues. Plus, one hell of a job by the guy who solved it. Congrats to both.

    Just off the top of my head and without double checking : The DB5 from GF and TB?

    Raphael from OHMSS and the SPECTRE Guard from DAF? It's conceivable that he defected to Blofeld as Draco mentioned about some of his men in OHMSS.

    Blofeld (FRWL/TB)? Second clue may negate the guess, however.

    The un-named Sheriff in DAF and also LALD, played by the same actor (Leroy E. Hollis)? Having appeared in DAF and LALD, 2 consecutive films, he fits clue #1, but maybe not #2 and #3. I would need to revisit his scenes to be sure. I'll take a guess that it is him anyway.

    Ninja with the sword in YOLT? He appears in the OHMSS title sequence.

    Excellent! When you said that the first clue should be taken literally it got me on the right track. I always thought it was odd that they included him, such a random character, in that montage during the OHMSS title sequence.

    Named and speaking EON Character.

    1. My only words are an acknowledgement.
    2. It's unclear if I know how this thing really works.
    3. I'm in the right place at the right time at a certain moment.
    4. It's quiet, almost too quiet.
    5. My name is similar to a past character.
    6. Bond eventually takes my position.
    7. My death was not in vain.
    8. Someone in my profession was much luckier than me.
    9. My pleasantries didn't matter
    10. My name is spoken but not listed.

    I was thinking about title sequences, but that escaped me. Good deduction.
