Conclusion
There have been quite a few James Bond actors to date and it’s hard to really tell which actor is the best James Bond of all time as there’s no accounting for taste. It’s also not entirely fair to simply look at actors’ salaries or James Bond movie gross worldwide earnings as times are always changing and what’s worth $1 million for Dr. No in 1962 could be worth $100 million for No Time To Die in 2020. Choosing the best James Bond actor will always be a matter of taste.
So who is your favorite James Bond actor?
And, perhaps more importantly, who do you think should be the next James Bond actor? My money is on Michael Fassbender, but maybe that’s just because I have a man-crush on him since the latest Alien movies. Although, Benedict Cumberbatch might also act the part in a James Bond suit and a Walther PPK in hand. Who knows?
Share your opinion in the comments below!
I have been a fan of James Bond from the beginning, and have enjoyed all the Bonds. Connery created the film character, and just gave us what Bond “should” be like, and I love him for it. Lazenby tried to do an “everyman” with his bond, and that just did not work. Bond can never be an “everyman”. I loved Moore for his lightness and humor, which was perfect for the times. Dalton’s darker Bond was very good, but perhaps ahead of its time. I think his Bond is more understood and enjoyed today. Brosnan was again our wonderful suave and humorous Bond. And Craig is now perfectly with the time as a darker and more edgier Bond. Craig is perfect for today.
Sean is best – but Timothy Dalton is a close second! What a pity he only did 2 compared to Connery’s 7. I don’t like Daniel Craig – no humour, cold blooded & ruthless…no – bad casting. They should have got Hugh Jackman or Liam Neeson.
I totally concur with your sentiments about Mr. Craig. As a woman, my opinion is that “James Bond” needs to be an Alpha Male. The only one who exuded Alpha Male qualities was Sean Connery, period. I am not, nor ever have been into the “metro-sexual” types. Just saw Skyfall, the only way I could accept this story, was pretend Mr. Craig was a different character. Once this was accomplished, managed to enjoy the story. Barney Rubble…LOL!
Tie between Craig and Connery
Sean Connery no doubt. Bond seduces women and only Sean has the smile that could seduce women at first instances (as in the stories) Craig ? Man no smile at all though he got a perfect body and action for a spy agent.
I would give his vote for “All actors – the best.”
surely Sean Connery is the best and Craig is the last!
but we always live in our time…
I don’t see Daniel as james bond.He is like only action fighting actor.Pierce is the most smart man as james bond.We are unlucky only four movies which pierce acts as james bond.
What about David Niven who played in one version of Casino Royale
Sean Connery has always been my favorite, but as I grow older and more bitter, I feel that Daniel Craig pulls it off better for me now. He is just somehow more Bond in my mind.
I have seen all the Bond movies..my Dad was a Bond fan..He kept loads of Ian Flemmings Books and articles..
Sean Connery for me typified Bond.. Roger Moore did well.. though I didnt warm up with Lazenby in OHMSS..he did his best but that was one emotional bond.. Daniel Craig is kind of overstretching the xter for me.. Brosnan was the right peg in the right hole.. but the storyline in The World is not Enough was overstretched as well..Dalton held his own as he only starred twice..
And what is wrong with the directors a lot of goofs in Skyfall in this age and time..
Thanks
Some great and not so great comments. I enjoyed all the movies I saw, have not seen them all and won’t unless I get lucky and see them on public television. Thanks for the post. Can’t remember why I came here now.
well, mr connery is definitely the best looking, best moving james bond. photographs very well also. mr. moore made a joke of some of 007’s missions. mr. dalton, too serious for the era. mr. lazenby was the 1st human bond, he fell in love. mr. brosnan i think the most glamorous bond, and mr craig, the most action oriented bond. as for my favorite bond or if i rank the bonds according to their movies, 1 connery, 2 lazenby, 3 brosnan. 4 craig. 5 moore, 6. dalton.
Connery and Craig are good. Moore glamarous.
All others are waste of time. Bronson total misfit in the role, only get some numbers by having a cunning face;.
i think realism is the in thing now-a-days, skyfall is also going that route. but since this is what’s called for, citing skyfall, i feel that there are two scenes that should have been shot diffrently. 1) as mr bond is climbing out of the komodo dragon’s pit he should’nt have been faced with a villain’s gun, and conveniently saved by moneypenny dropping the metal case on the man. this is so old movie, old trick, boringly old. the same when 2) bond had disarmed all of silva’s men and again the MI6 choppers all conveniently arrive just at the right moment. it’s so boringly old movie trick. maybe they should have been shown to have waited awhile and the day or time passed and the day got dark, then the choppers arrive. anyway that’s just me noticing some old boring, soo boring movie tricks.
to continue, i guess the scenes were made to inject humor but it no longer does, on the contrary, it sways the audience’s mood to feeling the scene is corny and removes the seriousness of the movie, i did. scenes like that are as old as the movie industry, because it is so contrived and in reality doesn’t happen. realism and seriousness is lost. and sometimes, even the double meaning side comments of bond feels worn out. what seems to be good to bring back is the background music of john barry, because it is so apt to 007 movies, going back, maybe they can find other ways to put humor, not those in the “nick of time” scenes. so old …. or in these times maybe, the movie can survive without it.
most of us grow to like the bond we first meet, i like all of them but i like sean more becuse he has the right manly voice, deep. he is the tallest bond and moves very naturally in the scenes, – and around women, he moves the best. mr moore i like him as simon templar than a bond. also because i knew mr connery 1st as bond and moore 1st as simon templar. all the rest fall short compared to connery, although they grew into the role. with connery the plot compliments him & he compliments the plot. the role was written for him. it was a 50/50 share of input. mr dalton i think lacked the presence on screen to portray bond. his bonds plots were very good but they fell short. moore’s bonds were very good but there was to much lightness or humor that seemed to come out of every scene. it didn’t feel like bond on the screen.it sometimes didn’t feel like a bond movie. if only ‘the saint’ was introduced in the cinemas as well, it would have been a bang! mr lazenby didn’t have the acting experience but the plot was very good. it was a human bond. and the story ran very smoothly, the killer ending was tragic and it could happen to a secret agents’ life, very realistic, & the treatment of the scenes were not too light.. it had the best entrance for a new bond at the time. the scenes were very well chosen and shot. this time the plot carried mr. lazenby. mr brosnan’s bond was carried by his favoulous face. as for mr craig’s bond, casino royale was excellent. the plot was so good. it was the most realistic plot after a long line of bond movies. except for the sinking of the building. skyfall’s plot is just a wee bit under the plot of casino royale, but just to mention this, the scene very likely a bond scene is the one where the assassin was preparing to shoot the target through the glass in the neon light filled room is one of the best if not the best scene in all of the bond movies. it was so evil and dark. it dramatized the moment of murder & death. not that i liked evil. it was just so unique. it was the most serious scene in any past bonds.
i read several comments here and there were suggested actors to play james bond, after daniel craig of course, and someone even asked why americans can’t play 007? that’s right, because it’s the british secret service. so with that reasoning it’s too bad because there is one american actor- chris noth of sex & the city and the current law & order series who has the height, 6’2″, ideal hairline & bushy eyebrow like connery, moves around women well, like connery. because i watch him in sex & the city. he could play james bond. but he’s not british. too bad.
append an accent and you can be anyone you want 🙂 good suggestion by the way, hadn’t heard this one yet!
My favourite Bond actor is Sean Connery but Daniel Craig and Timothy Dalton I like to.
Just Sean Connery
easy pierce and timothy!how does flemming do it!
f*cking sick list brother!!
Knob heads David Niven was the first bond casino royale
Sean Connery is the best bond ever
George Lazenby is the worst bond ever
Roger Moore is the funniest bond
Timothy Dalton is the original James Bond (novel) fleming’s opinion
Pierce Brosnan was good in only one film (goldeneye)
Daniel Craig is the most high paid James Bond actor to date,most handsome and my favorite James Bond actor
Hi, what about David Niven in the Spoof of Casino Royal.
Hi Dr.
Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment!
By popular demand I have added Barry Nelson and David Niven to the list. First it was only the EON-produced list, but it’s called “List of ALL James Bond Actors” after all.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone 😉
Sietse
I will be heartbroken when Daniel Craig is no longer James Bond. However it might soften the blow if Tom Hardy was the next 007.
Tom Hardy seems like a likely candidate should there be another change of Bond!
Sean Connery. If I remember correctly, when he was chosen to move Ian Fleming’s great character from the page to the screen, Mr. Fleming wasn’t pleased because Sean is a Scot and he wanted a Brit with a little more polish. However, when Hollywood got through with Sean, he was perfect! I really think all of the rest have done very well, but I liked Roger Moore better as Simon Templar (he fit that role better) and Pierce Brosnan better as Remington Steele. Daniel Craig is very good (I like blue-eyed blondes) and we have to remember that Hollywood is not workimg from Fleming’s original material anymore. Thank you for your hard work. I will always be a Bond fan and was even before the movies were made.
Sean Connery is, “The Only BOND”! “WHO” is really a “BOND”!
The only actor who is really BOND IS SEAN CONNERY
First off, Danny Craig couldn’t act his way out of a wet paper bag if given instructions !!! Second, Pierce was and is more of a comedic actor… not suited for Bond. Third, what the hell happened to Timmy since his days of Bond ? Enough said on him !!!
Now, after all that being said, let’s make “Mr. Bean” a Bond agent…. LMAO We can call him Agent 008 and the name of the movie, “Behind The Eight Ball”
Like Craig the most. His role and the circumstances involving him are more realistic than the previous bond movies where Bond doesn’t seem to get hurt, dirtied, or looked so perfectly suave which was kind of boring and impossible. Craig portrayed a more edgy and kind of darker character which is what I imagine as a real life special agent would be.
I find Roger Moore to be my favorite Bond, although Connery is my favorite actor in the group. By the way, “It was a mistake, like casting George Lazenby as 007″ is a simile, not a metaphor.

No one could compete with craig….. He’s the only actor that suits best as bond….. That’s a well known fact!!! 🙂
Skyfall star Daniel Craig has beaten out David Beckham to be crowned the Most Stylish Man of 2012. Bosses at GQ magazine annually compile The 25 Most Stylish Men list – and Craig has been named the guy with the best fashion sense in 2012. ;

everyone shush up its all the same all of you guys babies
i love all the JAMES BONDS but i mostly love the movie SKYFALL and AEDELE singing in it
i love Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan as Bond… it is difficult to choose the best one among them.. Daniel Craig portrayed james bond as more of a human than a superhero.. i love him for that..
What is everyone’s obsession with Pierce Brosnan? He’s one of the WORST cast James Bond characters ever! He’s so full of himself, on and off-set. Not only to mention, one of the worst actors I’ve ever seen next to Woody Allen. At least Woody Allen is somewhat funny. I’d watch a movie with him any day, over something with Pierce Brosnan in it. Best James Bond is Sean Connery, Hands down. Daniel Craig is second best in this role because he also suites the role better than Brosnan. He is definitely portrayed as more human-like. Only superheros can blow up and still come back, yet in real life an agent is human and wouldn’t come back. Daniel Craig’s role as Bond seems more realistic than previous Bond movies. Let’s face it, the more realistic the character the better the movie turns out and not all the actors had that charisma.
The list is cool and as for me, i feel Daniel does it well.
daniel craig is doing very great as bond, thumbs up for him
his accent is ways too cooool
IT’s very disappointing that Daniel Craig is the new Bond. In my opinion, they could have picked someone much better….but not someone with blonde hair and blue eyes.
He doesn’t have that certain something that all the other Bonds’ have.
I agree, he’s not your ordinary type as far as looks for playing Bond. I think they wanted to take the character in a different direction and I think he’s doing a great job. He’s more of a darker character then all of the other Bonds.
pierce brosnan is best
Cool article, and very informative. I think you got the ages of some of them wrong, though. Connery and Moore have birthdays late in the year, so they were technically a year younger than listed for the following:
You Only Live Twice
Live & Let Die
The Spy Who Loved Me
Moonraker
For Your Eyes Only
Octopussy
A View To Kill
Not nitpicking, just want to do my small part to help insure accuracy.
As for the matter at hand, I enjoyed Connery and Brosnan, but I think Craig has beat them out as my favorite Bond.
That’s great mate, thanks for your input! Will update accordingly
Brosnan is the best and the most suited to Bond.
I liked most of the Bond movies. It’s just that the story line made the difference. Some had more gadgets but all had sexy women. When you get into the move you don’t realize who the actor was until it’s over.
Good comment by Prescott. I never noticed the guys playing Bond as much as I noticed the plot and the beautiful women.
I don’t know why producers gave up in Skyfall, the excellent idea, brought in Cassino Royale and developed in Quantum of Solace, of Bond fighting against a crime organization (like Spectre). A real pitty.
personally, i think, daniel craig is the worst bond. he is wooden and i don’t find him even a screen presence. how does a supporting type actor become a lead and a not very good support either. are there or, were there no other englsh actors to play this role? in a country possessed with great talents surely, this can’t be true.
