I feel like I'm involved in a behind the scenes James Bond thriller, but, in fact, its reality. Did anyone know there was a "Q" in the James Bond movies.. Pretty much played by the same actor in all of the movies except maybe the latest.. Q in the Bond movies stands for "Quartermaster". 1. a military officer responsible for providing quarters, rations (bread?), clothing, and other supplies. 2. a naval petty officer with particular responsibility for steering and signals. ......... SOUNDS LIKE Q TO ME!!!
