Actor name

Case for

Case against

Sean Connery
Sean Connery
  • The first - defined Bond for a generation
  • Athletic, rugged, handsome, deadpan - the complete package


George Lazenby
George Lazenby

  • A few great one-liners
  • Stalked the producer at a salon in hopes of being cast - it worked
  • The closing scene of On Her Majesty's Secret Service - maybe George can act!

  • One hit wonder
  • Model turned actor
  • Blowing a huge opportunity by behaving like a recalcitrant tosser

Roger Moore
Roger Moore

  • Someone, anyone, throw Roger a bone here. Following Connery is no easy feat....
  • He, like, tried to be funny and stuff.

  • Fashion: did Moore get saddled with the most depressing era of men's attire of 20th century?
  • Masculinity: did you ever once real feel like Moore could kick anyone's ass? Seriously, would Pussy Galore have rolled in the hay (yes, literally) with Roger Moore?
  • Moonraker: nuff said

Timothy Dalton
Timothy Dalton

  • He was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Academy?
  • After Bond he made several appearances on the Lifetime channel.

  • The end of the cold war and AIDS did not give a womanizing secret agent much of a chance...

Pierce Brosnan
Pierce Brosnan

  • The guy can wear a suit
  • Is anyone old enough to remember Remmington Steele?


Daniel Craig
Daniel Craig

  • Masculinity: Craig's brooding thug looks capable or hurting someone - how refreshing.

  • Range? Does Craig have it to be an enduring leading man?
