My Take
What strikes me about David Hedison is how he became a quiet fixture across three corners of pop culture without ever being the marquee name. He was the doomed scientist in the original The Fly, captained the sub on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and then earned a small piece of immortality as the only actor to play Felix Leiter twice in the Bond films. That kind of longevity, from a 1956 Theatre World Award to roles spanning the 1950s through the 1980s, tells me he was a reliable craftsman first. A Brown University man who simply kept working, and I respect that durability.
