Who was the 5th actor to play James Bond?

Roger Moore was the fourth actor to play James Bond in the Bond film series. He played the role in seven films over the course of almost ten years with his first film being 1973's "Live and Let Die" and 1985's "A View to Kill." Timothy Dalton would eventually take the role as James Bond in 1987.


Who was the 5th James Bond?

The fifth official James Bond film from Eon Productions was You Only Live Twice (1967), starring Sean Connery. The fifth actor to play James Bond in the official series was Pierce Brosnan, beginning with 1995's GoldenEye.


Who was the first non English man to play James Bond?

There are four out of seven actors that have played James Bond that are not English or British. Sean Connery, to first play the role, was Scottish. George Lanzeby is Australian and after Connery. Roger Moore was next, but is English. Timothy Dalton proceeded Moore but was British also. Pierce Brosnan although sounds English, is actually Irish. Barry Nelson was the only American to play the part. Last but not least David Niven played James Bond, but is British.


Why did Timothy Dalton not want to play James Bond anymore?

A number of factors lead to Dalton's abandoning the role. First of all, Moonraker had been so expensive that the budget for subsequent Bond films was cut with every new production. Licence to Kill had the lowest budget for a Bond film since the late 1960s/early 1970s, even after you adjust for inflation. Licence to Kill also had the lowest box office returns of a Bond film since the early 1960s. MGM was hesitant to greenlight a third project with Timothy Dalton, and were willing to do so only by cutting the budget further from the $32,000,000 of Licence to Kill. Adding to the troubles was the fact that the new CEO of MGM apparently disliked Dalton and offered to give EON Productions the budget they wanted if they would replace Dalton; EON, however, refused this offer. At around the same time as EON was beginning pre-production on a third Dalton outing, MGM/UA was bought out by an Australian company, who illegally sold television rights of the Bond films to a French company. The following court case severely delayed production until late 1993/early 1994 at which point Timothy Dalton's contract with EON had expired. Even after his contract ran out, however, Dalton was still the Bond "of record", meaning he would be given the opportunity to play Bond first, and if he turned it down EON would seek a new actor to be contracted. Not long after his contract ran out, Dalton received the first draft of the script for GoldenEye and disliked it. During the long gap of legal wrangling, Dalton did several television appearances and theatre productions, as well. Basically, Timothy Dalton didn't like the script for GoldenEye and had already moved on to other work which he found more enjoyable.


Which actor has played as James Bond more?

Roger Moore portrayed 007 seven times. Officially Sean Connery portrayed him six times - the seventh and last time in Never Say Never Again isn't included in the official count (which is why this year's Bond film, Quantum of Solace, is considered #22).
