Roger Moore once said - and I think he is right in this - that a star has a certain personality that they portray and that when you cast a star for a role, they bring their personality to the role. For Sean Connery, this was a masterstroke. He was ambitious, tight with money, gritty, slightly rough but with the edges smoothed away through opportunity and Terrence Young and he was natural in front of the camera. In addition, he had looks which were dark and broody and an athletic way about him that Dana Broccoli describes as 'feline'. And she was right. He played Bond brilliantly although his performance did drop off in YOLT (in a sense the film was trying to outshine him really) and especially in DAF where he seemed to be unprepared and puffy for the role but in parts, still played it well. In truth all the actors brought something to the part. But I don't think Daniel's Bond was as good as Sean. And I say all this as a RM fan.
