Edmund Slate has a small role against James Bond in the film Quantum of Solace, and is portrayed by Neil Jackson.

After Craig Mitchell’s betrayal in Siena, MI6 learns he is connected to a bank account in Haiti belonging to Slate. Bond visits Haiti looking for answers. Bond is attacked by Slate while investigating his hotel room. Bond uses a pair of scissors to defend against Slate’s switchblade. Slate dies shortly after a brutal and bloody fistfight between Bond when he stabs Slate in the leg (piercing a vein) with the scissors.

After the fight, the hotel receptionist gives Bond a briefcase that belonged to Slate. The briefcase contains a photograph of Camille Montes. Beside the photo lies a gun. It turns out her lover Dominic Greene has sent Slate to kill her. Slate is intending to assume the identity of a geologist and meet Camille when Bond intercepts him. Camille later mistakes Bond for Slate.
