James Bond started out life as a character in a novel series, written by Ian Fleming. From 1962, however, he entered the movie world in the form of Sir Sean Connery, charming the ladies while beating the bad guys. Since then the character has gone through various metamorphoses until Daniel Craig became the longest-running 007 in the franchise.
James Bond started his cinematic odyssey with Sean Connery bringing the character to life.
He was sophisticated and debonair, but after five films he handed over to the straight-laced George Lazenby, whose portrayal of Bond saw him almost settle down with a woman.
After this, Sir Sean returned to the fold, but only once before the comedic, slightly bumbling gentleman side of Bond was shown through Sir Roger Moore.
Sir Roger played the role for seven movies, before giving his spot to the more realist take of Timothy Dalton, who after two movies passed the baton to the action-hero stylings Pierce Brosnan.
After four movies, the even more action realism began with Daniel Craig, and has remained so ever since – but can you match the quote with the Bond star?
