In all the former James Bond movies, the American counterpart (Felix Lieter), is a caucasian.?

How come Felix is a black American in the last 2 flics (Casino and Quantum) ?? How did the director commit such a blunder if the character is the same??In all the former James Bond movies, the American counterpart (Felix Lieter), is a caucasian.?It's a reboot: Starting with Casino Rayale the current run of 007 movies are as if the previous ones did not exist; This also involves bringing the character closer to the one written by Ian Fleming than the more comical version used in the previous movies.



Of course in the books Felix was Jewish, but....In all the former James Bond movies, the American counterpart (Felix Lieter), is a caucasian.?Bernie Casey, a black actor, plays Felix in "Never Say Never Again". So, the precedent was set in 1983.



EDIT: I'm not sure why I received a thumbs down for citing a previous black actor in that role. Maybe it's an equal opportunity troll~nasty to everyone.In all the former James Bond movies, the American counterpart (Felix Lieter), is a caucasian.?Unless the character's ethnicity is of empiric importance to the character, it doesn't matter. Felix is black in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace because Jeffrey Wright is a terrific actor, and that's all the filmmakers cared about.In all the former James Bond movies, the American counterpart (Felix Lieter), is a caucasian.?
In the first filmed Bond. James Bond was American and Lieter was British
