After the cancellation of "Cover Up", Hamilton was in talks to replace Roger Moore as the new James Bond in the 007 film series. "Bond" producer Albert R. Broccoli was reportedly hesitant to cast Hamilton as the womanising James Bond because, in real life, Hamilton was gay. Timothy Dalton was ultimately cast as James Bond. In 1986, Hamilton had a small role in the comedy film "Jumpin' Jack Flash" starring Whoopi Goldberg. He also guest-starred on several television series including "The Hitchhiker", "The New Twilight Zone", "The Charmings" and "L.A. Law".
