Who Was The Best James Bond?

[nwg]

Didn't the name Bond come from the brand of paper (BOND) Ian was typing on as he started writing his first JB novel?

Ian Flemming was a Ornithologist (Bird Watcher) James Bond was an author of a bird book he was reading.

Now, that's a Who wants to be a gazillionaire question nwg.

Bob Holness (of english student gameshow Blockbusters) was the first Bond, though i think it was just for radio. According to another english prog last week, there was a Jimmy Bond in America before that on u.s radio.

You have been watching QI. I knew this before that program aired, honest.

That is worth some rep points. Bob Holness did Bond for Radio in 1956 doing Moonraker. He was not the first one (although a lot of places say he is).

In 19654 a American actor was James Bond for CBS TV broadcast of Casino Royale (not radio). His name was Barry Nelson. See link below.

Youre right, I always thought it was Bob until Q.I.

connery and brosnan are my favourites

as only one vote was possible connery made it

[TNT]

Err.....

Sean Connery gets a call from his agent one day. The agent goes "Sean, I've
got you a job - starts tomorrow, early. You'll have to be there for 10-ish".

Sean furrows his brow and says
"Tennish? but I dont even have a racket."

I grew up with him so I guess I'm going to have to say Moore is my favorite.
I love Connery for "Junior, We named the dog Indiana"
I think Brosnan is the best looking.
While I understand that Dalton was the closest to the book, he was my least favorite.

BTW what is your all time favorite Bond Film? Mine is without a doubt For Your Eyes Only. I have a REAL nice teaser sheet of the film.

Moore was good and he was the funniest of the Bonds but he wasn't what you would picture a spy to be I am not sure how to describe my view of him other then I think he is a bit femmy acting but that's what made him funny to me. I am not out to insult any one so please don't take my comment as such

@tnt You thought Dalton was worse than Lazenby???
@br7 If you had have seen Moore in The Wild Geese you might not think that.

[BR7]

It wasn't a shot at him soup he is my 3rd favorite Bond and I like Moore as an actor he was in a couple of films I liked such as Curse of the Pink Panther,The Cannonball Run.This was how I viewed him as the Bond Character I wasn't judging his acting skills in other films.As for Dalton I thought he was great in The Living Daylights

[soup]

The way you explained is what I thought.Didn't think it was about other roles no problem.

[BR7]

Thats fine I thought I better explain myself better I have a bad habbit of not making my points clear paranoia gets the best of me some times lol

@tnt You thought Dalton was worse than Lazenby???

I suppose since I couldn't get through the film, Lanzenby might be worse. I guess I was trying to say of the ones I mentioned I disliked him the most.
