Dead at 89 after a short bout with cancer...

 

Not the best Bond, but had the cool-factor to a "T"...

I actually liked Timothy Dalton.

 

Still once Sean Connery was gone it didn't seem like James bond to me anymore.

WSS

Daniel Craig has been awful good in the role. I understand though that he is done doing it.

FYI, here is the list of people who have played James Bond:

Sean Connery

George Lazenby (one movie)

Roger Moore

Timothy Dalton

Pierce Brosnan

Daniel Craig

David Niven

Barry Nelson !!!!....this last one surprises me. (I think he is American in fact.

I read all of Ian Fleming's work starting when I was still in high school, interesting guy and author.

 

Casino Royale" is a live 1954 television adaptation of the novel of the same name by Ian Fleming. An episode of the dramatic anthology series Climax!, the show is the first screen adaptation of a James Bond novel and stars Barry Nelson and Peter Lorre. Though this marks the first onscreen appearance of the secret agent, Nelson's Bond is played as an American spy with "Combined Intelligence Agency" and is referred to as "Jimmy" by several characters.

 

Most of the largely forgotten show was located in the 1980s by film historian Jim Schoenberger, with the ending (including credits) found afterward. The rights to the program were acquired by MGM at the same time as the rights for the 1967 film version of Casino Royale, clearing the legal pathway and enabling it to make the 2006 film of the same name.

Or just pull the plug on the series and watch Goldfinger reruns.

Not when there is money to be made. Won't happen.

....and reality sets in. :lol:

 

Maybe a lady James Bond? Hey it is 2017....I think.

Basically folks favor the Bond they grew up with....

 

My ranking:

  1. Sean Connery... GOAT
  2. Daniel Craig... love the new, gritty take of his Bond outings.
  3. Timothy Dalton... 2nd best of the old style Bonds.
  4. George Lazenby... only one outing... not great, but Diana Rigg co-starred... :)
  5. Pierce Brosnan... was better as Bond than he was in his TV roles.
  6. Roger Moore... his Bond era was cartoonish.
  7. David Niven... speaking of cartoons... his Casino Royale was a joke... literally... just ask Woody Allen.
  8. Barry Nelson... yes, Barry fuckin' Nelson, the original Bond... look it up. I barely remember him myself.

For me the top four had the benefit of the role making them "famous"... at least they were all previously unknown to me. As unknowns they could become Bond.

 

Whereas the bottom four were "actors" who played Bond...
