The Matador

And I think that's OK.

And I think actually sort of Pierce Brosnan has done that several times throughout his career where he's kind of used his... sort of career as James Bond in interesting ways I don't know if you've seen a film called The Matador which he's in where he plays a kind of sort of assassin type character with a sort of shady backstory and that's a A kind of interesting film, which again, he plays on that on the on his backstory on his backstory on his on his back history with that particular franchise.

And I know what you mean about he does turn up at a moment, which is a little bit, which is very, very convenient.

But I think by that point, the film had earned enough goodwill for me that I was happy to overlook the convenience of that particular plotting point because I was into the film and I was enjoying it.

And he obviously did the Thomas Crown affair, I think with Rene Rousseau around that time, which obviously made that very difficult given he's playing a suave businessman.

But yeah, I remember he did a few films where, I think one called The Matador with Greg Kinnear, which is definitely worth a watch, where he kind of played a bit more against type, where he was still a spy, but he was like, I think he might have even been an assassin, that kind of thing.

But you're right, it was definitely in that action realm.

And I don't think it was until he did something along the lines of like the ABBA movies.
