"When I was a kid, my father and I would watch — over and over again — the Bond marathons on TBS," Percy said of his love for the franchise when it was first announced he was taking over the series. "When I was in high school, I took a career test and wrote ‘spy’ as my dream job. When I was in college, I signed up for an espionage novel course and fell in love with Fleming’s books. The first drink I ordered was a vodka martini — shaken, not stirred — though I now stay true to the novels and favor bourbon."
