I like that.
Video is even better!
If only Jon Hamm was a Brit, then he would have been an ideal Bond, IMO.
I have seen the same documentary and I can't remember it was ever stated that this was Gilbert's decision specifically. Gilbert commented on it in the documentary. That is not to say it was his idea.
Probably my favorite scene from that show.
It's a fantastic scene from a fantastic show!
Looking to rewatch all the seasons soon too. Mad Men is definitely one of my top three ever TV shows, and a real one of a kind.
I'm going to miss him when he's gone. He's the best Bond actor we've had and he's irreplaceable.
I'd maybe nuance that if I could. I have tremendous faith in Craig, but I think the moment Connery and Moore were over the hill their films became rather cringe-inducing at times.
So I'm not sure I want Craig as Bond too deep into his 50s, but I desperately wish he'd been able to churn out his films faster. If the next movie were to be his 6th or even 7th I'd be delighted.
Pierce aged the best of the lot, and even looked like a credible agent in something like The November Man, filmed 20 years after GE.
Second place is Dalton.
Agreed. I think Lazenby, Dalton, and Brosnan easily could have played Bond into their 50s and 60s.
Dalton would have had to wear a hairpiece.....
Would only have been the second one to do so!
The Balding Daylights
Licence to Wig
Third actually--Moore was using a small hairpiece, on the top of his head, by the time of A View to a Kill.
Did not know that!
I agree. They’ve both aged quite well.
Licence Receded.
I'd say Connery aged the worst. at least during his Bond tenure. In YOLT he looks like a completely different man. In DAF he behaves like a completely different man too.
The one who aged best overall I think was Roger Moore. Yes he was too old in AVTAK, even in FYEO to be honest, but before then he looked fine and younger than his age.
I agree. Connery in TB and YOLT is like night and day. In DAF it doesn't even look like him in most areas. Except during his meet with Blofeld in the Whyte House.
Moore always looked good for his age in general, and especially when he started (difficult to believe he was just 3 years younger than Brosnan in DAD and 4 years younger than Craig now when LALD was released). Again, like Connery he had that youthful spark to his personality which belied his years. By AVTAK he was past it though, at least imho.
I'd agree that Roger aged the best, in spite of what many say about his AVTAK appearance. He always looked the elegant, suave, classy gentleman.

I happen to agree with it. SF and SP were huge let-downs for me, and looking back, QoS is better than both of them...
That's why I said Connery aged the worst during his tenure. He may have had a spark, but he came off as an out of shape middle aged man, not a believable operative.
I think Connery looked far more convincing as an ageing operative in The Rock than he did in his last few Bond films.
Roger I think looked too "plastic" in AVTAK.
Brosnan was too heavy in DAD
Craig looks ok but tired.
