60 years of James Bond: Every 007 actor ranked from worst to best!
James Bond is one of the iconic characters of cinema, one that has survived for six decades. A fictional British spy that sprang out of Ian Fleming's novels, the first time the character appeared in film was in 1962 with Terence Young's 'Dr. No'. Over the years, six actors have played the role -- Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. There have been 25 official movies until now. There are fans and detractors of each and every actor that has donned 007's tuxedo, but most agree that there has never been a bad James Bond -- even if there might have been ordinary Bonds.
Timothy Dalton
Dalton has emerged as a great actor but when he essayed Jamed Bond, it looked like he did not understand the assignment. There has been a resurgence in his 007's popularity, however, and many now think his portrayal of the character was ahead of its time. Um, we disagree.

Pierce Brosnan
The Bond before Craig, Pierce Brosnan was a reinvention of sorts for the character -- not dissimilar to the kind of reinvention producers are looking for after Craig left. While the movies' quality can be argued, it is a universal opinion that Brosnan was a superb Bond.
