Doctor Hall
Played by Nicholas Woodeson, Doctor Hall is a psychologist at SIS/MI6, making his only appearance in Bond 23, Skyfall (2012).
He examines James Bond’s mental health upon his return to MI6. He administers simple word association tests to Bond. However, Bond gives sarcastic answers, and even remains silent throughout the examination, as noted by Hall.
In a later scene, Raoul Silva, who had hacked the MI6 network and knows all information, tells Bond that Doctor Hall had deemed him unfit for duty.
