My name is Bond..James Bond--Who is your favorite James Bond Actor

RuffRyder · 24th September 2008, 22:06

Hi all,

Being a die-hard James Bond fan, wanted to check if there are some die-hard fans in Team-Bhp and also who they think was/is the best actor to fit in the James Bond Shoes or rather Tuxedo..

The James Bond movie saga begin in the year 1962, with "Dr. No" and has come a long way to nov 2008 with "Quantum of Solace".

Sean Connery was the first James Bond with 6 official Bond movies over a period of 9 years.

George Lazenby was the next Bond, who acted in only one Bond movie and is often the forgotten James Bond.

Roger Moore was the next Bond with 7 official Bond Movies over a period of 12 years.

Timothy Dalton was the next Bond with 2 movies to his credit.

Pierce Brosnan was the fifth Bond with 4 movies to his credit.

Daniel Craig is the sixth and the present Bond. He stars in the nov 2008 release of the new Bond flick "Quantum of Solace" which would be a treat to watch..

pls let me know if i have left something out on the brief history of Bond, and do vote for your favorite Bond Actor..

Sean Connery, Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan, in that order. Timothy Dalton was awesome in Hot Fuzz though

roger moore for his dry wit

muneemmk · 24th September 2008, 23:00

Sean Connery,Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig , in that order.

I Hated Roger Moore as the bond he was unemotional and his eyebrow were the only thing acting.

Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery are the best. Daniel Craig is boring.

1 Connery
2 Moore
3 Brosnan

normally_crazy · 24th September 2008, 23:23

Brosnan , Craig, Connery, Moore - for me in that order.

bhp1 · 24th September 2008, 23:42

Brosnan for me, Connery days are too old, Pierce ruled in our times.
Craig though is doing a good job, but he would be replaced with someone better.

Sankar · 24th September 2008, 23:46

Brosnan, Connery & Roger Moore in that order.

Cyrus43 · 24th September 2008, 23:58

Well, i have grown up to Pierce Brosnan, so he is my Fav. Closely followed by Roger Moore and Sean Connery. I personally do not like Craig. He doesnt have the class and pinache that Connery and Brosnan had!

safari_lover · 25th September 2008, 00:07

It seems only I voted for Dalton here.
Next comes Brosnan and Moore for me.

ph03n!x · 25th September 2008, 00:59

Sean Connery!!! Maybe coz he was the first Bond, but I always felt him to be the best suited for the role.

Off Topic - Wasn't there another novel called Quantum of Solace (not by Ian Fleming)?

neoranjit · 25th September 2008, 01:15

I liked the Bond girls better

and am sure everyone shares the same thought.

Yeah, Sean connery, Peirce Brosnan and Roger Moore

When I saw my first James Bond movie, it was Brosnan!
For me, James Bond means Brosnan!
Then, I have to make my mind accept the fact that Connery, Craig and Moore were Bonds too.
And that's the order for me too.
