Favourite actor who played James Bond

A lot of people my age were brought up in the Brosnan era and would say he is their favourite.

However me being a huge fan of Bond my favourite is Connery. My rankings are as follows:

1) Connery
2) Moore
3) Brosnan
4) Dalton
5) Craig
6) Lazenby

Vote for your favourite above and leave a post of your rankings!

1-Daniel Craig
2-Sean Connery
3-Roger Moore

Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan never looked physically big enough nor muscular enough for the part

For sure Roger Moore. He was always a smart a$$. Worst would be Timothy Dalton. It was like casting Tobey Maguire in spiderman. What were they thinking.

As far as actual physique goes none of those actors were capable of convincing me that they could pull off the physical stunts etc.

If I have to vote its Mr Connery.

Cheers

Of course!

Roger Moore was the Saint and always will be. He filled in as Bond when the occasion rose.

forget Bond,-who's your favourite Bond girl!

For me it would have to be Solitare-from 'Live and let die'.A Tarot card packing
wicca chick that's gorgeous,they always spark up the best.

As to which actor was the best Bond,its always difficult,as has been mention
depends on generation of person,for me-Rodger Moore.

Me - last week in Phang Nga Bay Thailand. Just my luck to get the wife as a Bond Girl. The Ray Gun is missing out of the top of the rock but you should be able to pick the movie.

I normally prefer Connery as actor, but Moore was the more quintessential Bond in my opinion. The rest were just also-rans, or worse.

Cheers
Steffen.

If you moustache the queshtion, then you won't be shaving it for later then......can you guess which one I voted for?

Although, some of the Connery bond "love" scenes were one step removed from statutory rape....IMO.....they go like this......

Bond grabs the girl and pulls her to him

Bond Girl: "No Mr Bond!"
Bond: "Yesh"
She wrestles from his grip and he grabs her roughly......

Bond Girl: "NOOO Mr Bond"
Bond: "Yesh, you know you want to"

She slaps him!

Bond Girl: "I said NO! Mr Bond"

Bond grabs her, pulls her in tight and kisses her while she flails about until she ultimately gives in to the passion.......and so on.

Apparently it WAS Yes all along????????

Hmmmmm. the 1960s, a different time eh?

I spose its all about the story, but it's quite disturbing when you think about it.....he's not THAT good looking...?

What's that Q?

Cheers

Chris
