No. He made three appearances plus an uncredited voice-over.

Cubby Broccoli did make a couple of appearances in the films, but they were more cases of being in shot in a scene. He is not the answer, but you are moving in the right direction.

Yes, Michael G. Wilson is correct. He appeared in sixteen films, although only credited twice, plus two voice-overs and one appearance cut in the editing. As Cubby Broccoli’s stepson he has done a varied selection of other jobs in the Bond franchise.
