Before appearing on the big screen, James Bond made appeared in an episode of the 1950's television series: Climax!
Barry Nelson played James Bond.
Don't recognize the name? Nelson was primarily a television actor and showed up in many television series in a guest spot. He also played the Hotel Manager in the original Shining movie.
The Internet Archive lists the episode as being in the Public Domain. (They try their best to check copyright status, but they can make mistakes.)
According to IMDB, the Casino Royale spot was actually a pilot for a James Bond t.v. series that never materialized.
