David Niven played "Sir James Bond" in Casino Royale, which was really a send up of Bond flicks, not a bona fide Bond movie.
George Lazenby appeared in only one Bond flick, On Her Majesty's Secret Service. He is best forgotten.
On the other hand, Roger Moore appeared as Bond in more films than any other actor, and he is best forgotten, too.

19. Oooh well that explains how I didn't know David Niven, never seen |
|
Casino Royale.
I was trying, and trying to think of George Lazenby's name, but I just couldn't come up with it. D'oh.

20. Niven is right in this case |
|
Although the movie isn't canon to the James Bond universe he did play James Bond on the Silver Screen.

23. Casino is an interesting study |
|
And the music is great on it's own. The only way to watch it is to just let it take you where it will. Directed by 5 different egomaniacs who refused to cooperate with each other. Its an amazing example of getting everything wrong. Camp doesn't begin to describe it.

without Google or IMDB:
Roger Moore Sean Connery Tim Dalton Pierce Brosnan George Lazenby
And I think David Niven.
Edit: D'oh! I knew it was Peter Sellers, and I got mixed up. Niven was in Casino Royale, right?

10. Casino Royale can toss a huge monkey wrench in the question |
|
By the end of the movie everyone was named James Bond. But at the start of the movie only David Niven was James Bond.

Also, if I recall, Orson Welles and Woody Allen. STRANGE movienot funny. Cubby Broccoli didn't have the rights, for some reason.

five have done so in Bond movies: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan.
Peter Sellers "sort of" played him in Casino Royale, but David Niven was Sir James Bond. Also Barry Nelson played him in a TV version.

12. See the second question up above |
|
Edited on Fri Feb-18-05 01:10 AM by Az
Barry Nelson is the answer they are searching for up there. The trick here is the question was on the silver screen. Nelson was made for the TV.

Then? I confess I'm rather partial to Pierce --- only other candidate would be Roger, but he wasn't my cup of vodka martini.

30. Alright, I'll come clean... |

I totally love Roger Moore as Bond. Brosnan is a very close second. Sean was good too, but only just good when compared to the other two, who are perfect. IMO, of course.

By making Pierce #2. I figured Sean was a cinch for #1, not Roger. Shows how little insight I have into others' tastes. You're female, right? So what has Roger got that Sean and Pierce don't? (No challenge -- I really would like to understand.)

35. Hard to quantify. Let's see... |
|
I like Roger's Bond in that he seems a little more sophisticated, a little smoother, also with more of a touch of humor, and seems more appreciative of the women he encounters (which I also like about Pierce's version, though that may be a factor of the times, too - female co-stars moving more into the roles of full-fledged partners rather than just "conquests"). In the end it may just come down to individualized visual appeal and teen-aged hormones. I'm well past the teenage stage (thank gods!), but that's when I first discovered the Bond films in TV reruns. Lots of fond memories. :) And yes, I'm female.
Okay, back at you ... what do you love about Sean's Bond? Asking in the same spirit, to get another fan's perspective....

Sean is physical, masterful, and was very young and tough, a "man's man," especially in the best early Bond films, "From Russia With Love," "Dr. No", "Thunderball" and "Goldfinger." I was a 10 year old boy when I first saw Sean do "Dr. No." WOW! What a stud! Then, when I saw "From Russia With Love" (in a re-release), I saw Sean deal with bad guys, skin-dive, wear black tuxedoes, travel, play cards, golf, and deal with spaghetti-strap evening gowns with great skill.
Very impressive to the 10-14 year old set, i.e., me, from 1963-1967.

Thanks for the perspective! :) Truth be told, most of these movies were great, but everyone's got their personal favorites.

18. Sellers is a faux Bond |

He and all the other characters were renamed James Bond half way through the movie. Someone else was really named James Bond at the start of the movie.

Casino Royale does confuse things considerably, though...

David Niven played James Bond in the second version of the movie Casino Royale. These were the actors that portrayed James Bond on the Silver screen. Casino Royale is not considerred part of the Bond universe as it was a parody. But Niven did play the character James Bond. Incidently Casino can throw another loop into the mix because part way through the movie all the agents get their name changed to James Bond 007 to throw off the bad guys.
The second problem comes from the first version of Casino Royale. Filmed in 1954 it was made for tv (CBS) and never shown on the silver screen. Barry Nelson was the first man to play James Bond on film(though not on the silver screen).

Silver screen is the trick on the first question. The second question I posed was who was the first to play Bond on film. That would be Nelson.
