James Bond Actors Ranked: James Bond Revisited

Here on James Bond Revisited, the time has come to do the impossible! We’re going to rank all of the actors who played James Bond from “worst” to best. Now, bear in mind, none of the actors who ever played 007 were actually bad. In my opinion they’re all varying degrees of good.

Of course, for me, being a huge James Bond fan, this list is deeply personal. Nostalgically, Roger Moore would top my list. But, analytically, I’m not so sure the same can be said. I had to take a lot of things into account for this list: length of tenure as 007, critical and fan reaction, impact on the pop culture, popularity at the box office and more. I didn’t rank folks like David Niven or Barry Nelson, who never played the official EON James Bond, so the rankings were chosen from Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.

One thing I noticed was that the James Bond’s chosen by EON were all pretty-much spot on. Even the much-maligned George Lazenby is quite good in his one and only entry as James Bond.
