James Bond has been potrayed by 5 men thus far. This section of Boris' Realm will give you some details about the actor's style of playing Bond.
SEAN CONNERY
Connery is still considered the 'only' bond by quite a few Bond fans. His suave, sophisticated, and yet harsh style ranks him right up there with Bond. He got sick of playing Bond, though, at the end of 'You Only Live Twice'. He appeared in 'Diamonds are Forever', but after that, he was outta there. Connery is one of the best actors who potrayed Bond, period. He was born on August 25, 1930, and is still alive today.

GEORGE LAZENBY
Lazenby appeared in only one Bond film, 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service', in 1969. Although there are mixed feelings about his performance as Bond, the general feeling was that he did a good job, and many were disappointed that he would not continue to play Bond. He apparently didn't get along well with the director or actors, and quit. He was born September 5, 1939.
ROGER MOORE
Moore picked up where Connery left off. Moore lasted for seven Bond films. He had the charm of Bond, but many felt that he was too 'cheesy' or too much of a 'pretty boy' to actually be Bond. He was skilled mostly with guns as opposed to fists, which might have created that impression. But he kept cranking out Bond films, just the same, until most people accepted him as Bond. He was born October 14, 1927.
TIMOTHY DALTON
Dalton is my personal favorite Bond. He was the darkest, most unpredictable, and dangerous of all the Bonds. Dalton starred in 'The Living Daylights' and 'Licence to Kill'. Dalton has been called 'the closest to Ian Fleming's version of Bond', which is probably accurate, considering Dalton's professional attitude towards his job. Dalton was picked as a 'last-minute' Bond, after Pierce Brosnon was unavailible because of his NBC contract. He was born March 21, 1946.
PIERCE BROSNAN
Pierce Brosnan is the latest Bond, appearing in 'GoldenEye', and 'Tomorrow Never Dies'. His charm and sophistication are perhaps the best since Connery's, and his physical skills are way above par. Brosnan is a Bond for the nineties, and looks to stay that way for a long time. He was born May 16, 1952.
