Seconded......Moore was mainly about pathetic jokey one-liners. Spying was/is a serious, nasty business.
 
One thing about Craig, tho......his head looked too small for his body.  LOL
 
Point of note : For anyone who's interested, there's a chapter in 'The Man with the Golden Gun' where M reads Bond's dossier :
 
Father : Scottish
 
Mother : Swiss
 
 
So, Englishmen, Irishmen, and Australians NEED NOT APPLY.

That Roger Daltry guy is my favorite. RawksTongue

Connery is kind of the classiest, but Craig ain't too shabby.  I think my first one was Live And Let Die, so Moore works for me.

Did you know Bob Holness played the sax solo on Gerry Rafferty's 'Baker Street'?  Shocked
 
I'll have an E, please, Bob.
 
Wacko
 
 
Urban Myth Alert!! From Wiki-
 
Holness was the subject of an urban myth, initiated in the 1980s by broadcaster Stuart Maconie who, while writing for the New Musical Express (in a section called 'Would You Believe It?'), claimed that Holness played the saxophone solo on Gerry Rafferty's song "Baker Street" (1978). The true performer was Raphael Ravenscroft. The story clearly appealed to Holness' sense of humour as he has often played along with the myth, and has also at various times jokingly claimed to be the lead guitarist on Derek and the Dominoes' "Layla" and the mysterious individual putting Elvis Presley off his stride on the famous 'laughing' version of "Are You Lonesome Tonight?".[citation needed] He was recorded confirming the Baker Street story in a 1993 interview on STOIC, Student Television of Imperial College.
 
Oh well......that's shut ME up, then, ain't it ?  Ermm

Switch Craig and Brosnan and you'll have my exact list. Connery is quite overrated.

Connery was the coolest.
 
But Dalton seemed to match the description in Fleming's books.
 
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Just to be the ball buster-none of the above, he's a fictional character in a series of really good books written by Ian Fleming. These are just actors trying to portray him and each brings their own perspective to the role. We as individuals have our own preferences as to that interpretation. The real correct answer is-"The one I like the best."

John Dee (13 July 1527–1608 or 1609)
 
He was in the court of Queen Elizebeth the First and he often signed his name followed by 007. He was a Kabbalist amoung other things and that is where the idea of 007 came from.

Thank you, I do enjoy stating the obvious-some one has to do it! That's my point.  Wink

Personally, I prefer Connery, but Daniel Craig brought an interesting edge to the character too.

Yeah.......don't really like him as Bond anymore, even though I grew up with him and Moore.

Craig's Bond has already become stale. Bring back the gadgets. Bring back "Q" ( John Cleese ) . Best Bond was Lazenby. Best Bond girl was Mrs. Peel ( Diana Rigg ).
