Pierce Brosnan

Pierce Brosnan (b. 1953) is an Irish-born actor who starred as the title character on the TV detective series Remington Steele from 1982 until 1987. His success on the series led to an offer to play James Bond in 1986. Though contractual obligations prevented Brosnan from taking the role at the time, he finally played Agent 007 on screen in GoldenEye (1995, with Sean Bean and Robbie Coltrane), and reprised the role in three more features (ending with Die Another Day in 2002) and a video game (Everything or Nothing in 2004). 
Brosnan was the featured guest star in Muppets Tonight episode 204, playing off of his Bond image.
Years later, Brosnan met Abby Cadabby and Cookie Monster on the red carpet of the 2019 Kennedy Center Honors. Abby hugged Brosnan, and both Muppets remarked he's their favorite Bond. Brosnan also claimed he goes way back with Cookie Monster, telling an interviewer, "I was on Sesame Street with these guys. I don't think you were there, Abby." However, Brosnan has made no such appearance on the show.
Brian Lynch's unproduced script for The Next Muppet Movie featured a running gag where Brosnan was replaced as Bond by Gonzo, and subsequently tried to audition for the Muppets.@BrianLynch on Twitter, 31 March 2020 (archive)
