Q: Has there ever been any kind of a James Bond TV series? It does so well as a film franchise, you'd think they'd go for it.
We've never had a TV series with James Bond as the lead character, but we've come close. Sort of.
In fact, the first time the world's most famous secret agent appeared on film, it was black-and-white film for television. A 1954 episode of CBS's "Climax! Mystery Theater" was based on the first James Bond novel, "Casino Royale," which author Ian Fleming had published only a year earlier. That was just a one-off special, though, not a series.

Q: I've been watching the new show "Fear the Walking Dead," and the actor who plays Travis looks super familiar to me. What else has he been in?
There are a million reasons why Cliff Curtis might be familiar to you (actually, 60 -- that's the number of roles on his Internet Movie Database resume). What's more, he'll be familiar to you no matter what kind of movie or show you like.
Are you an action fan? He was in 2007's "Live Free or Die Hard" as FBI Deputy Director Miguel Bowman, and appeared in the artsy actioner "Colombiana" in 2011.
