Craig came in on the back of a very popular Bond (regardless of what hard core fans think) and had to overcome that, as well as the negativity towards him as a blonde Bond.
So in some ways Tim had more advantage.
Either way, both are part of a rich and diverse franchise, playing a role which over 50 odd years has generated only 6 actors in the lead. Quite remarkable really.
That was what Tim had to live with during his short tenure......along with poor budgets and promotion (it is widely reported and acknowledged that MGM did not like him nor Cubby's support of him, and did not adequately promote LTK in the important US market, which is ironic, since a lot of the movie was filmed there with American actors).
One wonders if they were deliberately trying to sabotage the production in order to get Brosnan in after LTK (Remington Steele was well and truly done by 1989). No one talked about this (because it would have been very embarrassing for all concerned) but I wonder.........
Finally, very few actors can survive a 6 year break, especially when they're in their 40's to start with (even Moore may not have been able to survive it if there was a 6 yr gap between TMWTGG & TSWLM).
They've all been lacking in some way shape, post DAF.
I shall patiently continue vigil awaiting the second worthy successor to Sean.
44 years and. counting,.........
Sean Laz and 4x meh.
What we need now is something different yet similar to ruffle the feathers and clear the cob webs.
