Who turned down the role of James Bond in Dr. No, because the pay was too low?
Reeves turned down the James Bond role in Dr. No (1962) because of the low salary the producers offered (Reeves turned down $100,000 as he was making $250,000 as Hercules). Reeves also turned down the role that finally went to Clint Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars (1964) because he could not believe that "Italians could make a western".
