“The name is Bond. James Bond.”
Most of us have a Bond favorite be it Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan or the current Bond; Daniel Craig. Some even feel George Lazenby (who was Bond only once) was the best around. Here’s a look at our ranking of the six men who’ve been 007.
6. George Lazenby
Film: On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
Lazenby as Bond: When Sean Connery retired his 007, producers scrambled to find a replacement. In a surprise move, they decided to go with a virtual unknown, new to the acting scene. Suave, handsome and confident, Lazenby looked the part while toting a gun and stomping a few heads, but lacked in overall delivery. Most hardcore fans admire On Her Majesty's Secret Service for its departure from the usual Bond shtick, viewing it as the most thought-provoking Bond flick. Still, Lazenby’s legacy will always be playing the only Bond to ever get married.
Best Line: “I hope I can live up to your high standards.” KEEP READING: Timothy Dalton
