    Timothy Dalton in his TLD/LTK years (yet the film is set in 1969, OHMSS that is) would've been perfect for it.

    Make that two.

    Dalton could have been good, true.

    I dunno I think OHMSS worked better with a new actor. If Dalton hadn't been 19 then maybe Dalton.

    I thought he was 22, by then?

    He was 22, but you can imagine him at 40 if you like.

    Except for his love of Brosnan and Korean action, he is a nice bloke.

    I actually think that Lazenby did a great job in the film.

    I do to, I thought it was a fun question, if not Lazenby then who ? ;)

    If you can t see anyone else in the role, it is ok to vote for Lazenby.

    Sean Connery-3
    George Lazenby-1
    Roger Moore-2
    Timothy Dalton-6
    Pierce Brosnan-2

    I'll vote Moore. Just read his Bond on Bond, and anyway I like him very much in LALD. Could've made something special out of OHMSS.

    I think these is very difficult to answer. For me, Lazenby did a decent job and it's consistently top 5 for me, probably top 3. However, so I can answer the question I'd probably say Craig.

    Connery, with out a doubt then.

    Oddly, I think Connery had built up such an image as Bond. That I don't think the audience
    Could accept him as "vulnerable", which Lazenby was able to convey.
    Only my opinion. Of course. :)

    I agree wholeheartedly. The admittedly awesome Connery from the first five films would not have suited the more romantic protagonist of OHMSS. Lazenby did great.

    Was Bond supposed to be in love in these films....no. Was he in OHMSS....yes. I have no doubt that Connery would have suitably adapted.

    Connery could have done it. Maybe not the same way Laz did, but he had the skills to deliver that role. Keep in mind that the vulnerability is somewhat subtle in OHMSS and not overt. Conners could have done that easily.
