Fisher

Fisher is a henchman or contact to Dryden in the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale (his name is never actually uttered on screen). He was portrayed by Daud Shah.

Daud Shah as Fisher in ‘Casino Royale’.

His exact relationship with Dryden is not established on screen. He is notable as the first man to be killed by James Bond, and the first of two kills required in order for Bond to qualify for 00-status. Bond’s killing of Fisher is shown in a flashback just prior to Bond’s killing of Dryden. Bond and Fisher engage in hand-to-hand combat in a men’s washroom (the exact location of which is not indicated, though deleted scenes suggest it is in a cricket stadium in Pakistan).

Both combatants have guns, but the majority of the fight involves Bond and Fisher throwing each other through toilets and cubicle walls. Eventually, Bond gets the upper hand and appears to drown Fisher in a sink. However, as Bond turns to retrieve his gun, Fisher, who feigns death, grabs his own gun. Bond turns and fires, and this is shown on screen as a modified version of the traditional gun barrel sequence and leads into the opening credits.
