Finlay Light, also known as Finley Light[1] was an Australian model best known for being briefly considered to play James Bond in the 1980s before Timothy Dalton was eventually cast.

He was one of a number of Australian or New Zealand actors that the Bond producers looked at during this time, others including Mel Gibson, Andrew Clarke, Antony Hamilton and Sam Neill.[2][3] Light was signed to a ten-year contract[4][5][6] but never ended up appearing in the role.
