Actually, I've heard Jet Li has been cast as Kato.

Your position is like saying it isn't Superman without George Reeves. . .

[You Dirty Rats]

My position is like saying it isn't James Bond if it isn't Sean Connery.

And, frankly, you can't replace Sean Connery or Bruce Le.

George Reeves could be replaced by Jim Belushi. There's no comparison.

Some actors or actresses do such a good job of character portrayal that it's tough to replace them. Frank Gorshin absolutely ruled as the Riddler, for example. Who could ever play Antony and Cleopatra better than Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor? And if Henry Kissinger ever played Ernst Stavro Blofeld, who could be more convincing?
