5. Timothy Dalton
Films: The Living Daylights (1987); Licence to Kill (1989)
Dalton as Bond: With Pierce Brosnan unavailable at the time, producers turned to Dalton as their second choice for 007. While he had the looks, personality and acting chops, Dalton ultimately took the job way to seriously. Although his two films were the most reality-based of the series (Licence to Kill had him going after run-of-the-mill drug lords in Columbia), audiences didn’t respond to the intense and intelligent Bond who would rather fight the old-fashioned way than use any of those nifty gadgets.
Best Line: From Licence to Kill: “I'll do anything for a woman with a knife.” KEEP READING: Roger Moore
