    If that name sounds unfamiliar to you, you're not alone. Although Sean Connery is the actor most frequently credited with originating the role of James Bond, he actually stepped into the signature tuxedo eight years after Barry Nelson, the first man to play James Bond on screen. If that isn't shocking enough, here's another surprise: Nelson was an ...

    Sean Connery was the first (and arguably most iconic) actor to play 007, beginning his decade-spanning career as James Bond with the 1962 film Dr. No. Connery was originally considered not "classy" or "suave" enough for the role of Bond and was even doubted by Ian Fleming himself, whose choice for Bond was more along the lines of studio suggestions...

    Another name that may be unfamiliar to many readers, Bob Simmons portrayed James Bond in the same films as Sean Connery- just in a much more brief way. Simmons was Connery's stunt double and was used during the filming of the now-iconic gun barrel sequence. Nowadays the actor who plays Bond also portrays him in the gun barrel sequence, but because ...

    Although modern audiences may be more familiar with Casino Royale as the intense 2006 thriller starring Daniel Craig as 007, there was also a '60s adaptation of the novel with a decidedly less serious approach. David Niven portrayed James Bond in the 1967 Casino Royale, which is one of the few Bond films not produced by Eon. The film itself sees Ja...

    After Sean Connery left the role in 1967 (only to be convinced to return in subsequent years) one film was made in the interim - On Her Majesty's Secret Service, starring George Lazenby. Lazenby left the role before the film was released, even though he would go on to be nominated for a Golden Globefor his performance. Despite the nomination and th...

    Once again working around Sean Connery's sporadic involvement in the franchise is the next actor to play James Bond - Roger Moore. Moore played Bond for seven films - Live and Let Die, The Man With the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, and A View to Kill. Moore was considered thanks to his extensive time as...

    Moore eventually retired as Bond after admitting that he was too old for the part, and passed the role on to Timothy Dalton. Dalton had been considered for the role a few years earlier but was thought too young to accurately portray the superspy at the time. However, he won the part over Jurassic Park's Sam Neill, and studied up by reading several ...

    Following the legal battle that halted Dalton's final films as Bond, Pierce Brosnan (who had previously been considered before being passed over for Dalton) stepped into the role. Brosnan's Bond typified what many associated with the character - his good looks and charm made him a believable international playboy as opposed to a hardened killer lik...

    Finally, the present James Bond. After Brosnan's depart in 2004, Daniel Craig stepped up to the plate in 2005 after having been impressed with the script for Casino Royale. It's no surprise that the dark, gritty take on the classic novel drew Craig's attention - his interpretation of the character is less of a ladies man and more of a cold-blooded ...
