I recently purchased a limited edition complete set of the James Bond Series (all 22), plus the Non-EON film "Never Say Never Again" (to make it 23). I'm watching them in reverse order and realized I may not have a favorite Bond actor. Most people seem to say Sean Connery, but I lean more toward Pierce Brosnan...but have a soft spot for Roger Moore, since my father introduced me to Bond films on the big screen with "For Your Eyes Only"...
So my question to you is, who is your favorite actor to portray James Bond?

Absolutely Roger Moore. He has a lot of class and in my estimation lives up to the true character of James Bond-- "Martini, Shaken, not Stirred".
There was definitely something magical about Bond. I'm sorry we've lost that panache. -

I was first introduced to Roger Moore and I really liked him as Bond so my vote goes for him. However I really do wish Pierce Brosnan did a few movies though. I thought he was a great Bond.

I guess I'm, ol' school because I like Sean Connery best. He is the difinitive Bond in my book. I saw most of the early Bond movies in the theatre while in my teens.

I was hooked on the Bond genre from the get go. I think the first one was "Dr. No".

I'm a traditionalist: Connery.

I actually like the Daniel Craig films a lot. They're less cartoonish than some of the others.

For some reason, the Craig films don't seem like Bond to me -- maybe because they are much more serious. That said, the Craig movies are really really good.

Daniel Craig returns in 2012 for Bond 23 (or 24 if you count that other 1983 film...I do). I wonder what they are going to call it...

How come Daniel Craig has only one vote (mine) so far...

As I said, I like Craig, and I like the Craig movies, but they just don't seem like "Bond". Maybe after a few more movies...

Craig is the immasculated Bond, IMHO. I liked the Bonds that always got the better of the villians, even if that was unrealistic.

For me it's Connery all the way. He comes closest to the Bond in the books and, call me old fashioned, but that should mean something. Craig for me is #2. There's a dark side to Bond that the others just don't address.
As for the Moore movies. Too campy. It's sort of like Adam West playing Batman. If you're not going to take it seriously, just let it alone.
