THE ACTORS WHO PLAYED JAMES BOND.

I grew up watching "James Bond Movies". As a matter of fact, I'm a huge Fan of James Bond. So, it gives me great pleasure to feature James Bond in my Blog ( Hi, James Bond. Lol). I know that there are lots of movies making waves in the Movie industry now ... However, we can't just forget James Bond movies... Can't just shove it off like some friggin'  trash can ..Heck no, it won't do justice to it. So, please hear me out, aiight? Thank you. :)





James bond is a fictional character created by British journalist & novelist Ian Fleming a long, long time ago. 1953 or thereabouts. .. Nonetheless,  the character evolved into a huge success. Like Michael Jackson, there's hardly a place where JAMES BOND IS NOT KNOWN. .. Lots of actors had featured in Its movies ( James Bond movies. Gotta remind y'all. Need to).
Alright guys, I present to y'all them actors that rocked the name "JAMES BOND". Happy reading :)



The original James Bond - and arguably the best - was Sean Connery, who accepted a license to kill from 1962 to 1971, plus a final "unofficial" Bond film in 1983. His Bond movies included "Dr. No" (1962), "From Russia with Love" (1963), "Goldfinger" (1964), "Thunderball" (1965), "You Only Live Twice" (1967), "Diamonds are Forever" (1971) and the 1983 version "Never Say Never Again.



George Lazenby was the second James Bond and starred in only one film, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" in 1969. In that movie, Bond got married, only to become a widower by the end of the flick. Lazenby couldn't live up to the larger-than-life Connery Bond and backed out of a seven-year contract to do more Bond films. Producer Albert R. Broccolli asked Connery to return to the role and paid him $1.25 million plus 12.5 percent of the film's profits. Connery was back.



Sean Connery passed the torch to Roger Moore, who donned the Walther PPK in his first Bond film, "Live and Let Die" in 1973. Roger Moore became the quintessential James Bond for a new generation, playing 007 for 12 years. His films consisted of: "The Man with the Golden Gun" (1974), "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977), "Moonraker" (1979), "For Your Eyes Only" (1981), "Octopussy" (1983) and "A View to a Kill" (1985). Regrettably, according to some critics, Moore overstayed his welcome - playing the role well into his 50's.

(Gosh, I need to take a breather... ) Next is...



Actor Timothy Dalton replaced an aging Roger Moore in the release of 1987's "The Living Daylights." Dalton's James Bond was originally supposed to be played by Pierce Brosnan, but NBC renewed his contract for a fifth season of "Remington Steele" and Brosnan was out, at least for a while. Dalton signaled a return to a more rough and tough Bond style. However, public reaction to Dalton as Bond was somewhat mixed. Dalton's only other Bond film was "Licence to Kill" (1989). Dalton left the role prior to his third film, which was scheduled to be shot then released in 1991.



Pierce Brosnan got a second chance at Bond-dom in 1995 when he starred as Agent 007 in "Golden Eye." Brosnan was a hit, and many argued that he was the best Bond since Connery. Brosnan played Bond three more times: "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997), "The World Is Not Enough" (1999), and "Die Another Day" (2002). Brosnan was reportedly fired from the role prior to his fifth film as Bond.



This brings us to the sixth, and most current Bond, Daniel Craig. On Oct. 14, 2005, Craig was named the new Agent 007. He starred as Bond in 2006's "Casino Royale," and returns in 2008's "Quantum of Solace." Craig is the first blond actor to play Bond and only the second Englishman (behind Moore) to star in the role.

End of story. Y'know what? Nobody does it better than Sir Sean Connery.  He's the best James Bond everrrrrrrr....
