How come Daniel Craig has only one vote (mine) so far... O:O
The George Lazeby fans are undecided? ;D

(And yes, Dr. No was the first...) b@n*

Any ideas (or bets) on what they will call Bond 23?

I think they should bring back all the old bonds to play villains...

James Bond is coming back! It'll be a bit yet, but he's coming back.

Sean Connery set the standard and Daniel Craig has lived up to it best, I think.

I liked Sean Connery in the role but Roger Moore was great too!

sean connery all the way! he is the original...the first movies are bright, almost cartoony, and connery is always cold as ice. those first movies really take me back, even to places i've never been. That being said, craig is my #2...he is more emotional, but I think the movies themselves are better shot and acted. full of suspense and dread. not cartoony at all.

Sean Connery is probably my favourite overall but Roger Moore is who I think of as Bond.

I saw him on a tv show about the films talking about being dressed to the nines with a beautiful woman on her back trying to be super cool and seductive while the lighting crew hung from the fittings shouting "Go on Roger, give her one mate" and trying not to laugh.

How funny.  My son and I just watched The Spy Who Loved Me last night.  Roger M. is who I think of when I think of Bond.  My son thought the effects were cheesy.  I thought they were awesome!

Arnie I'm completely mortified :P because you left my favourite actor off your list, so I cant join in the vote as accurately as I'd like to, although I will still vote :(

Who is your favorite actor to portray James Bond?

My favourite actor to portray James Bond was David Niven, in the original Casino Royale movie (1968 I think?). So out of all the actors who have played James Bond, he is my favourite actor, and he has played James Bond.

Of the actors in your list, my favourite actor to have portrayed James Bond is Sean Connery. My least favourite to have portrayed James Bond is the totally pointless (in every film and tv show he's ever been in) Pierce Brosnan.

However, from your list, my favourite actor (overall) is Daniel Craig. Playing James Bond is the least of his talents from an acting point of view, but also the most lucrative :)

So,

1. David Niven as my overall favourite actor who played James Bond
2. Sean Connery as my favourite James Bond from your list
3. Daniel Craig as my favourite actor from your list, but not as James Bond.

;)

Little known Roger Moore fact: I was once in the business centre (center) of the Sheraton Manhattan, and in walked a very old-looking and frail looking Roger Moore (it was around 5 years ago), and he needed 2 of the employees of the business centre to show him how to send an email, and the whole experience seemed to take its toll on his intelligence. Quite ironic given how swashbuckling he was as James Bond.

Connery gets my vote because he's the one I grew up with.

Sorry Andy, I thought about it, but didn't include any parodies...although the 1967 spoof David Niven played in is considered the most notable.
