The character that is James Bond is a mysogynist psycopath - so you can take your pick of individuals to portray him.

How could we all have overlooked the obvious...

Oliver Reed

Considered for role before George Lazenby

Got smashed and in a serious punch up the night before his screen test with Cubby Broccoli, he had several stitches in a face would after being attacked with a broken bottle, but still managed to rock up for the audition.

Cubby decided to play safe with George

Have we had Patrick McGoohan yet? Ideal as he had lots of silly parts behind him, The Prisoner and Danger Man being 2. He also drove a very cool car in both, Lotus 7 and Aston Martin DB2, a prerequisite for Bond

Thanks Lenny

Never knew the finer details!

Would have been a far better Bond. The worst Bond movie despite Diana Rigg!

He could not possibly play 007, as he is not a number, he’s a free man.

Imo OHMSS is one of the best Bond movies. Not much because of Lazenby but dont think he did a bad job especially considering he had zero acting experience.

 

[Binney on acid]

Michael Crawford.

 

[Rambo]

Wasn’t Clive Owen in the running once?

A reasonable reaction to having different tastes in Bond movies.

After watching Mary Poppins and Diagnosis Murder I would have to plump for Dick Van Dyke.
