I just learned a couple of days ago that Barry Nelson played James Bond.
Actually I just learned that Barry Nelson existed. I saw someone who I thought was Jackie Cooper on the panel of a 50's game show but heard the host call him Barry Nelson so I had to learn more about him.
That led to the surreal thought of Jackie Cooper being a Bond.

umm, no, I don't have a meaningful contribution to this thread.

Four Sean Connery. Not a lot of votes, but he is the clear winner.
He's was a good Bond, but he was not some incredible actor towering "head and shoulders" above the rest of the Bonds.I liked Roger Moore. Sean Connery is overrated...
How so?
Dalton was very good, his portrayal perhaps the closest to Fleming's character, but the gap between films was too great and I don't think he was appreciated by the general audience as much as he was by fans.
Are you hijacking your own Bond thread?You watch Who, too? Which is your favorite? I've only watched since the last re-start, and I think Tennant is my favorite, only because I'm still mad at Christopher Eccleston for walking away.

I voted Dalton. I thought he was an excellent Bond - much darker in his humor and a more brutal agent. Too bad they didn't get him pre-'View To A Kill'. That crap and 'Octopussy' really put the series in a hole. Awful movies.
I do think that Brosnan is the physical embodiment of James Bond. The first time I saw him on Remington Steele I thought he'd be the perfect 007.
Connery was strong. Moore had his moments. Craig is OK, but he's turned it into just another action role. There isn't a strong connection to Bond.
