• Bond No. 1 and Still the Best - Sean Connery,  Although he had already been featured in several films, Sean Connery truly was the best actor and leading man as the first to play James Bond in 1961's 'Dr. No.' Although hindsight is always 20/20, you can easily look to Connery's background to see why he was so good in the role. (1961)


• Bond No. 2 - George Lazenby, Before being cast as James Bond, George Lazenby had already risen to the top of the male modeling world in Great Britain. As a result of his looks, his natural physicality and breaking a stuntman's nose during a fight as apart of his audition he was cast as 007 in the tragic Ian Fleming story 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'. Where James Bond fights his SPECTRE nemesis Blofeld, and also falls in love and marries in the process, only to be widowed when Blofeld murders his bride in the end.


• Bond No. 3 - Roger Moore, Roger Moore played Bond in 1973's 'Live and Let Die', and stayed on for the six Bond films that followed, giving him the record for playing 007 the most times in EON Bond productions. (Sean Connery actually played Bond seven times as well, but his last turn was not produced by EON but by rival Kevin McClory, who was a co-producer of Thunderball who had held some rights to the original story along with Fleming.)


• Bond No. 4 - Timothy Dalton, Dalton's performance of James Bond in two Bond films,' The Living Daylights' and 'Licence to Kill' are considered by most to be closest to author Ian Flemings original idea for the character of 007, and Dalton remains a favorite of hard-core Bond fans to this day.


• Bond No. 5 - Pierce Brosnan, Pierce Brosnan was first approached to play James Bond as early as 1984, in 1994, Pierce Brosnan was revealed to the world as the 5th 007. 'GoldenEye', his first Bond role, took in over $350 million worldwide, the highest take for any Bond film at the time. His subsequent three films each took in more and more, and all four films together have made over $1.6 billion worldwide thus far.


• Bond No. 6 - Daniel Craig, No Comment...(we will wait).

The actor's injuries were so serious that his dentist Rod McNeil had to be flown out to Prague, where Casino Royale is currently being filmed.
