Halle Berry

Halle Berry portrays Jinx, an American NSA agent who is also investigating Zao.

An MI6 operative posing as Gustav Graves' personal assistant, Miranda Frost is ordered by M to help Bond with his investigation of Zao and Graves.

John Cleese
as Q
Taking over for Desmond Llewelyn after his tragic death, John Cleese is the new Quartermaster. Q's workshop scene is one of the highlights of the film with numerous props from previous Bond films seen in the background. Sadly, the only reference to the old Q was when he said "As my predecessor was fond of saying, 'I never joke about my work.'"

Dame Judi Dench
as M
Originally abandoning Bond when he is captured by the North Koreans, M's role this film is very hard edged as she tells Bond he is of no use to MI6 anymore. When he finally becomes useful again, M sends Bond back into the field to go after Zao and Graves.

Samantha Bond
as Moneypenny
For the first time since Licence to Kill, Bond and Moneypenny do not actually appear together. They share a very humorous scene in Moneypenny's office, but it turns out that it is just a virtual reality program. Moneypenny's role is kept to a minimum in Die Another Day.
