My Favorite Things: James Bond


Favorite Bond Sidekick: Sheriff J.W. Pepper

Paunchy, sweaty, blustery and not just a little bit racist…Sheriff J.W. Pepper was an unlikely ally to James Bond. Played with a certain amount of Heat of the Night era Rod Steiger-ly gusto, the bumbling Louisiana Parrish lawman was a stark contrast to the suave secret agent. He was also quite the hoot to watch which is probably why he (and his ever present mouthful of chewing tobacco) was able to make two appearances alongside Bond in Live & Let Die and The Man With The Golden Gun.

  1. Favorite Bond song: A View to a Kill. The only good thing to ever come from Paul McCartney’s time with Wings.
    Uh, Derek, I hate to tell you this but Duran Duran sang A View to a Kill. Paul McCartney and Wings did Live and Let Die.

  2. Good catch! I’d written an earlier draft that had A View To A Kill as my song choice then switched to Live and Let Die but I must have had a brain fart and forgot to edit when I copied it over from Word.
    Thanks!
