In most of his films Niven played a somewhat effete British gentleman, and looked distinctly out of place in his occasional action roles; this despite the fact that he spent much of the war as a commando. Creator/IanFleming considered him the ideal actor for the role of Film/JamesBond, and he ''did'' play him, although that was in [[Film/CasinoRoyale1967 a parody film]].
