I was recently struck with the notion that the James Bond films used three of the Avengers. Honor Blackman in Goldfinger, Diana Rigg in Her Majesty’s and Patrick McNee in A View to a Kill.

If you count that ridiculous film, you get 4 with Fiennes (Skyfall and Spectre and NTtD)

Those spy franchises were a bit incestuous. Bond (Lazenby) popped up in a Man from UNCLE tv movie as well.
