"Why is tit that there is never a ENGLISH actor to play Bondd, Lazenby-Australian, Connory-Scottish, Brosnan-Irish, they all think tey are going to albert 'all, the way they carry on their only going to go to SOD 'ALL"

Scaramanga, listen kid, i know youre trying on here but calm down. Think before you post some of your thoughts on here. 80% of your posts are well....a little disagreeable. Bond is scottish thats true. But to say moore is the best because hes english and not blond and has done the most films is ridiculous. Connery didnt want to do more. He would have done OHMSS but refused. Lazenby pulled Bond off brilliantly despite being an Aussie. Brosnan played Bond brilliantly but the film scripts were too overboard. Just because Craig is blond means what??? Hes a good Bond so far. Now, i hope youre getting enough sleep and not sitting up too late in front of the computer. A boy of your age needs his rest. Talk to you soon.

Pierce Brosnan is in my mind the best actor to play James Bond and all my friends and family agree. Daniel Craig was really good in Casino Royale but he has only done one film so it is way to early saying hes the best ever yet.

Wrong on almost all points. Fleming called him a truck-driver ("lorry driver," actually), but once the money started rolling in, he was perfectly happy with Connery, and, in fact, then wrote in a Scottish background for 007.

Fleming choice was David Niven as Bond, along with James Mason or Stewart Granger (or "James Stewart" in the UK, which is why so many books say "Jimmy Stewart" --meaning the American star of "It's a Wonderful life" and "Vertigo"--when he would have been all wrong for the part.)

Broccoli preferred pal Cary Grant who was best man at his wedding to Dana.

I think they considered Roger Moore, but the stated reason that he had to bow out because he was working on "The Saint" is false because the dates are all wrong. "Maverick," maybe, but not "The Saint."

I agree that Brosnan is "Number 2," but not in the way you mean.

And to say that Lazenby was better than Dalton is just...unstudied.

As far as the scripts--Connery was better even with bad scripts like "You Only Live Twice," and "Thunderball" (not a favorite of mine--it's a bit sloppy). And as the same writers worked on "Diamonds Are Forever," "Live and Let Die," and "The Man with the Golden Gun," one still has to say that Connery wins out over Moore.

This, of course, doesn't say that Moore was bad. He wasn't and is vastly superior to Lazenby (everyone is!), even though he never really thought that Bond was the least bit realistic. Moore's problem is that he was trying to distance himself from Connery's portrayal--which he was really quite successful at doing--so he deserves a lot of credit for brio and ingenuity.

Hmm.

I think Lazenby goes chronologically before Moore, but other than that you have the time-line perfect!!

I know, they're your list of favorites, but that's pretty interesting how they fall in line like that.

MY list is different, (I like Moore less, and Craig much more) but one can't argue very enthusiastically when someone picks Connery as the best. I guess at this point it comes down to a matter of taste. "Like Peking duck is different from russian caviar..." Such a rich meal to choose from.
