Tiffani Thiessen Says She Got Close to a James Bond Role Before Losing Out
Tiffani Thiessen revealed on a podcast that she made it deep into the audition process for a James Bond film before being rejected for the part.
Tiffani Thiessen says she came close to landing a role in a James Bond movie — and then lost it. The actress revealed the near-miss on the I've Never Said This Before podcast, explaining that she advanced deep into the audition process and was testing for the feature before ultimately not getting the part.
Thiessen did not name the Bond film or the role she was up for. Her account, first reported by comingsoon.net, places her among the many performers who have tested for the long-running spy franchise only to be passed over.
The actress is best known for her work in Saved by the Bell and White Collar, where she played Elizabeth Burke across six seasons of the crime drama.
Next up, Thiessen will appear in the supernatural drama Coven Academy as Miss Graves, the headmistress of Crescent Veil. The series is set to premiere on October 1, 2026, on Disney+.
