Colin Salmon enjoys his perks being cast in James Bond films

British actor Colin Salmon loves starring in the James Bond films for an unusual reason - he gets to screen test the superspy's female sidekicks and sexy villains, reports ContactMusic.

The handsome star, who played MI6 aide Charles Robinson in "Tomorrow Never Dies", "The World Is Not Enough" and "Die Another Day", claims contributing to the female casting process is the best perk of his job.

Salmon says, "For the last three movies, pre-production, I've played Bond.

"I read with the girls, do scenes with them because it's really difficult for them to come in, put on the costume, the Victoria's Secret outfits, whatever, and be judged like that, then remember to be actors.

"Yeah, there's kissing involved, it's quite a good job."

Salmon adds, "Pierce has had the opportunity to watch me do it for three movies. He's watched all the tapes when I've worked with the girls. He's seen me be Bond."

Thanks to `JP` for the alert.
