Since Ian Flemimg wrote the James Bond 007 series and the movies started to be produced, many actors have played the James Bond role character. Starting with Sean Conery in "Dr No" to this last re-make of "Casino Royale" with Daniel Craig. The best for my father is Sean Conery because he started the James Bond style, and the following James Bond actors just tried to be like him. But he likes also this latest James Bond actor Daniel Craig because he has his own style, I ask him why and maybe one of the factors for his decision was that the first Casino Royale was a comedy with Peter Seller.
But who is the best James Bond actor for you?

I like Pierce the best, it is a shame he decided to quit making them.

Its Only Pierce Brosnan that is the real james bond, the first bond movie i saw was golden eye with Pierce as the main actor, and after that.. i just cant stop whatching all the bond movies, but i like Brosnan, he has the best attitude in the bond movies.

Roger Moore, I grew up in that era, Moonraker and such, I like Sean second,Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan do nothing for me, i don't know what to make of the new guy. I hope I like more than I think I will.

I would have to say, that Pierce Brosnan is one of my very favorite. I do remember seeing a few Sean Connery Bonds here and there, but that is mostly my parents generation. I have yet to see Daniel Craig in the entire movie, I only saw previews and clips, but he does seem really good. However, I grew up on the James Bond game, so, the face used for that was Pierce's, so that is going to stay with me for a long time. Love 007, really do.

I haven't seen many Bond films but Sean Connery is definitely the best one to me. He was the one who gave James Bond a face and watching the other guys playing James Bond feels like watching wannabe-copies of Connery.

Everyone in my generation will say Pierce Brosnan (or almost everyone anyway) and most of the generation before me will say Sean Connery. But I am in the minority however you look at it, because Roger Moore is my favorite. I think that is probably because the films in the series he was dealt happened to be my favorite Bond stories. But he also fits Fleming's physical description better than Connery (but not as well as Brosnan did), IMHO. I don't like the Bond films post-Goldeneye, but I do think Brosnan was good considering what he had to work with. I never quite warmed up to Sean Connery for some reason (nothing against him personally). It may have something to do with him not being the first one I saw. I can't really place much of a personal reaction on George Lazanby or Timothy Dalton because I never saw their Bond films.

I love Sean Connery as well as Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. Never cared for the other actors who played James Bond. I don't like the present James Bond - the one who played in the recent Casino Royale - he doesn't look the part whom I think should be more "English" since he is supposed to be from M1 and not from the CIA. And he lacks the suave looks and gentleman style of the earlier James Bond actors. I don't know. I look at the present James Bond actor as some sort of brutish American CIA agent rather than the suave gentlemanly "British" James Bond.

Yes many actors have played the roll of James Bond 007 but I do believe that nobody can play the actor as well as Sean Connery, in nearly every movie that they make you can never replace the original actor.

There can be only one - Sean Connery. His performance in the movies matches Ian Fleming's description perfectly.

Pierce Brosnan is my James Bond 007 in all aspects. But i do honor Sean Connery the first and excellent player.

It would have to be Sean for me. All the others pale in comparison. I have only seen one movie that Daniel was in and I didn't like it at all. So, I will stick with Sean.

Pierce Brosnan, to me he is how the character is described in the book, he what Bond is supposed to me, I am a Sean Connery fan but he has a more rugged and less polished quality to his look and style. Roger Moore is a bit to cocky, makes it hard for me to enjoy the Bond films Brosnan and Connery could convey the quality of confidence with out being overertly arrogant about it. I have never Seen George Lazenby the second Bond, and haven't seen the newest one yet, I like Timothy Dalton, but the problem is I was aware that Pierce Brosnan was supposed to get the part but that NBC shafted him and if there were no Pierce Brosnan then Timothy Dalton wouldn't be a bad bond, but just not as good as Brosnan.

It's got be Sean Connery. Though I am a HUGE Sean Connery fan, so I'm a bit biased that way. My fav. role for him was the sub captain in Hunt for Red October though. It was done soooo well, that is one movie that I really want to pick up on DVD.
