"Casino Royale" is a 1967 spy parody comedy film originally distributed by Columbia Pictures featuring an ensemble cast. It is loosely based on the 1953 novel of the same name by Ian Fleming, the first novel to feature the character James Bond. The film stars David Niven as the "original" Bond, Sir James Bond 007. Forced out of retirement to investigate the deaths and disappearances of international spies, he soon battles the mysterious Dr. Noah and SMERSH.

Donald Pleasence (5 October 1919 – 2 February 1995) did not appear in "Casino Royale". He was an English actor and World War II Veteran. He began his career on stage in the West End before transitioning into a screen career, where he played numerous supporting and character roles including RAF Flight Lieutenant Colin Blythe in "The Great Escape" (1963), the villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the James Bond film "You Only Live Twice" (1967), SEN 5241 in "THX 1138" (1971), and the deranged Clarence "Doc" Tydon in "Wake in Fright" (1971).
