Ranking the Bonds

[Pathetic Shark]

Quick search and I found a list of 24 people

Another real trivia twist is the Turkish agent who helps Bond in From Russia with Love, Karim Bey. He took his own life after finishing filming because of terminal cancer. The crooked President in Licence to Kill is his son.

Bonds:

Connery
Craig
Brosnan
Dalton
Moore

Movies:

You Only Live Twice
Goldfinger
Casino Royale (with Craig)
Man with the Golden Gun
OHMSS

OHMSS is an odd one. Probably the best story, setting and music, but Lazenby was not good. Imagine Sean Connery in that movie.

Weird connection with the living daylights and Goldeneye (and tomorrow never dies)

Joe Don Baker.. played two different characters

Crazy arms dealer Brad Whitaker in the living daylights

Then bonds CIA contact Jack Wade In goldeye and tomorrow never dies

Don't think anyone has played 2 parts before or since?

Charles Gray played Henderson (I think, stabbed through the bamboo screen door) in YOLT and then Blofeld in Diamonds Are Forever.

I still think OHMSS has the best title music.

I still think OHMSS has the best title music.

Agreed. OHMSS, YOLT and Space March (Moonraker) all fine John Barry compositions.

Diamonds are forever, if you are looking for the best song. And Madonna or Sam Smith for the worst one.
