BBC reports that David Hedison, the US actor best known for playing Felix Leite opposite two James Bonds, has died at the age of 92.

He first played 007's CIA ally in 1973's Live and Let Die, the late Sir Roger Moore's first Bond film.

He returned to the role 16 years later to appear alongside Timothy Dalton in 1989's Licence to Kill.

Hedison's death was announced by his daughters Alexandra and Serena, who paid tribute to his "warm and generous heart."

"Our dad brought joy and humour wherever he went and did so with great style," they said.
