When i saw Casino royale in the cinema last week . I noticed in the scene when Bond follows a terrorist through the security checkpoint in Miami airport the passenger in the next checkpoint looked identical to Richard Branson.
It was only just for 1 second of screen time and he was at the side of the main action so not may people would have noticed him .
Does anyone know if Richard Branson did for some reason have a walk on cameo ( were virgin planes used in the airport ) or is it just a coincidence that the actor happened to look like Richard Branson?

Richard Branson landed cameo roles for himself and his son in Casino Royale after he helped to save the movie money by providing a plane at the last minute. A lifelong Bond fan, Branson asked director Martin Campbell if his generosity would warrant a part in the film,to which the director agreed and Branson can be seen playing a frenzied passenger going through airport security.

It's called product placement. Below is excerpt from Wikipedia;
Virgin Atlantic will play a part in the upcoming James Bond film, Casino Royale. Richard Branson, Virgin Atlantic crew, and one of its Airbus A340-600 aircraft will be part of a scene at Miami International Airport.

yes it is him. He provided a plane at last minute and in exchange the director gave him a small role in the movie. Only a billionaire could be in a movie in exchange for a small favor by lending one of his planes.LOL
