by stargatelord | created - 23 May 2012 | updated - 23 May 2012 | PublicComplete - all 8 actors
1. Timothy Dalton
Actor | The Living Daylights
At a consistently lean 6' 2", green-eyed Timothy Dalton may very well be one of the last of the dying breed of swashbuckling, classically trained Shakespearean actors who have forged simultaneous successful careers in theater, television and film. He has been comparison-shopped roundly for stepping...
(1987–1989)
1 The Living Daylights (1987)
2 Licence to Kill (1989)
my opinion :
The most real James Bond according to Ian Fleming novels.
2. Pierce Brosnan
Actor | The World Is Not Enough
Pierce Brendan Brosnan was born in Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland, to May (Smith), a nurse, and Thomas Brosnan, a carpenter. He lived in Navan, County Meath, until he moved to England, UK, at an early age (thus explaining his ability to play men from both backgrounds convincingly). His father left...

1 GoldenEye (1995)
2 Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
3 The World Is Not Enough (1999)
4 Die Another Day (2002)
my opinion :
A James Bond with the most flair.
3. Roger Moore
Actor | Moonraker
Roger Moore will perhaps always be remembered as the man who replaced Sean Connery in the James Bond series, arguably something he never lived down.
Roger George Moore was born on October 14, 1927 in Stockwell, London, England, the son of Lillian (Pope) and George Alfred Moore, a policeman. His ...

4. Sean Connery
Actor | The Rock
The tall, handsome and muscular Scottish actor Sean Connery is best known as the original actor to portray James Bond in the hugely successful movie franchise, starring in seven films between 1962 and 1983. Some believed that such a career-defining role might leave him unable to escape it, but he ...

5 You Only Live Twice (1967)
6 Diamonds Are Forever (1971)

7 Never Say Never Again (1983)
my opinion :
The most libidinous James Bond.
5. Daniel Craig
Actor | Casino Royale
One of the British theatre's most famous faces, Daniel Craig, who waited tables as a struggling teenage actor with the National Youth Theatre, has gone on to star as James Bond in Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012), Spectre (2015) and No Time to Die (2021).
He was born ...
(2006–2012)
1 Casino Royale (2006)
2 Quantum of Solace (2008)
3 Skyfall (2012)
my opinion :
A James Bond who could not fit in any Ian Fleming novels.
An alienage of James Bond character.
6. Barry Nelson
Actor | The Shining
A genial, well-respected, all-around "nice guy", the breezily handsome Barry Nelson was born Haakon Robert Nielsen on April 16, 1917, in San Francisco, California, to Betsy (Christophersen) and Trygve "Ted" Nielsen, both Norwegian immigrants. He was raised in nearby Oakland and graduated from the ...
(unofficial James Bond)
Casino Royale (21 Oct. 1954) from Climax! (1954–1958)
my opinion:
The first James Bond, a decent attempt.
7. Peter Sellers
Actor | Being There
Often credited as the greatest comedian of all time, Peter Sellers was born Richard Henry Sellers to a well-off acting family in 1925 in Southsea, a suburb of Portsmouth. He was the son of Agnes Doreen "Peg" (Marks) and William "Bill" Sellers. His parents worked in an acting company run by his ...
(unofficial James Bond)
1 Casino Royale (1967)
my opinion:
A James Bond comedian.
