    I think pachazo may have it, but I'll go for the peroxide blonde Macau casino barmaid in SF.

    Not the bar waitress at the Barrelhead. Not the barmaid at Macau.

    Good brainstorming, @goldenswissroyale. You all need a little help, another clue.

    Thank you @ShakenNotStirred . Let's hope that @Last_Rat_Standing is okay.

    Hello everyone. I am back and more than ok. I do apologize for leaving my round open, but I needed to take some much needed time away from all social media and discussion forums to get myself refocused in various areas of life.

    How about the Land Rover Owner whom Bond crashes his car while valeting?

    Not that Goldfinger lookalike Land Rover owner, @Last_Rat_Standing. Welcome back.

    Not Richard Branson.

    Ooh, @pachazo, not the picture of the Queen. Two clues.

    A clue.

    Not the goon. I'll give a clue for that, though.

    Sammy Davis Jr.

    Mr. Sammy Davis Jr. is correct, @ShakenNotStirred. OO9 would be proud. What happens there, stays there.

    So let's see how it stacks up. Here's the scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmYTbv8kfqo

    1. Bond seems to come across me by accident. Bond is relaxing and picks up a magazine.
    https://screenmusings.org/movie/blu-ray/Diamonds-Are-Forever/pages/Diamonds-Are-Forever-245.htm
    2. It turns out I'm not his interest.
    Bond takes little notice and moves on from the magazine cover and first few pages of the magazine.
    3. I appear with Bond when he's vulnerable. Bond is relaxing in a bath in the hotel suite.
    4. But nothing bad happens to him.
    5. I don't have a character name.
    6. Bond talks to someone else. By phone OO7 talks to Felix Leiter.
    7. Bond is interested in my competition. Shady Tree is the focus.
    https://screenmusings.org/movie/blu-ray/Diamonds-Are-Forever/pages/Diamonds-Are-Forever-247.htm
    8. I have a lovely mouth. Sammy Davis Jr. had a great voice, a successful singing and entertainment career.
    (Also, I was trying to draw attention to Anita Ekberg in From Russia With Love as a sort of precedent here.)
    9. I AM NOT AN ANIMAL! (After many animal guesses, to put things on track.)
    10. There's no time like the present.
    Bond is shown reading Now Magazine. Mr. Davis on the cover, then a couple pages in.

    11. I smile. It's good for my job.
    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/31/Sammy_Davis_Jr._1972.jpg/220px-Sammy_Davis_Jr._1972.jpg
    12. It wouldn't be out of line to call me "Baby". Vegas hipster hep cat talk: Baby, Sweetheart, etc.
    13. A cocktail is consumed, but I don't drink. Bond has his martini.
    14. I was ready to do more for this film. Mr. Davis filmed a scene which didn't make the final cut.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTZCtdoBtQU
    15. A tropical theme. Bond checked in to the Tropicana Hotel for a night.
    16. Outside this film, they call me "Mister".
    Mr. Davis was known as Mr. Show Business, and starred in a production of Mr. Wonderful.
    17. I have a successful career outside Bond films.
    18. I participated in the 60s spy craze. Sammy Davis Jr. recorded the title track to "The Second Best Secret Agent in the Whole Wide World", a re-edit/re-release for Licensed to Kill (1965).
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1vjibFn6Eo
    19. You know my name. Big celebrity status for Mr. Davis before and after Diamonds Are Forever.
    20. This scene lasts 21 seconds. I appear twice within 15 seconds.

    21. Here I am. On the road again.
    Here I am, up on a stage. Here I go, playing a star again. Here I go. Turn the page.
    22. Not literally. But elsewhere I've been known as a rat. Sammy Davis Jr. was famously known as part of The Rat Pack, along with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford.
    23. About 10 years later I team up with a different Bond actor in a non-Bond film.
    Roger Moore, Sammy Davis Jr, and many others appear in the 1981 film Cannonball Run.

    Mr. Davis really led an interesting life worth reading about, talent and spirit overcoming most things.

    Great job, over to you, @ShakenNotStirred.

    Wow! Great game @RichardTheBruce and all those who guessed. I had no idea until that very last clue, then it all clicked. I did some sleuthing that it could be someone also in a film with Roger Moore and 10 years after DAF was the year The Cannonball Run released. As soon as I saw Sammy Davis Jr. in there, many clues started working!

    Anyway, I would like to give @Last_Rat_Standing a chance to finish where he left off. If you like to! If not, I will return with a new character in 24 hrs. :D

    I appreciate it but that round has sailed and I would have played a new character if I had guessed correct.

    For what its worth, my character was Spectre #4 from YOLT played by Michael Chow. The one who greets Bond at Osatos office and watches him through the camera.

    New character time!

    Eon film.

    Clues:
    1) I spy with my little eye
    2) Diamonds Aren't Forever
    3) I don't have any spoken lines.
    4) I seem to be oblivious to my surroundings.
