George Lazenby- First of all, he wasn't that terrible. It was no
easy task to follow Connery. Lazenby certainly had the looks and the
moves of 007 but got blown out of the water when he tried to emulate
Bond's sardonic wit.
Roger Moore- Moore's limited range made Bond seem like an upper
class snob which contrasted sharply with Connery's "tough guy in a
tux" image. With endless sexual encounters (even for Bond) and one
witticism too many, Moore ended parodying himself by the time he was
through with the role.
Timothy Dalton- In an effort to return Bond to his serious
"Connery roots", Dalton went a bit too far. With an almost snarling
ferocity and malevolent gaze, 007 made each assignment a personal
matter. The idea of a monogamous Bond didn't help much either.
Pierce Brosnan- The latest Bond to step up to the plate is causing
much speculation. With his dashing looks and his sophisticated manner
some say he was born to play 007. Still others say that he just
doesn't have that rough edge to complement the panache.(Hey, check
Brosnan out as a chain smoking scientist in Lawnmower Man)
