James Bond has become one of the most lasting live action characters of all time. Few characters can claim the combination of the suave secret agent of longevity and the huge amount of actors who played them. For this reason, each spectator has many favorite potential actors from James Bond. However, this time, we do not play the favorites. Instead, we are considering cold and hard facts in order to know which Bond actor made most of the cinema appearances as a character.

Normally, lists like this are quite simple, but as nothing ever comes from James Bond, there is a field rule that we must define. In order to obtain a full list and avoid potential problems, the Bond actor who made more films for the production company of official James Bond Series, Eon Productions, will receive victory in the event of a link. With that settled and without other teenagers, let’s dive into our list of James Bond actors, classified by their number of appearances.

Even Sean Connery was not convinced that he would make a good leap James At first, and it probably did not help that the writer of Bond’s novels, Ian Fleming, was preparing for a different actor. Fleming’s favorite for the role was David Niven, who looked a little more refined than the new Comparative Combery Comparative – Not to mention an academy of best actor in a leading role for “separate paintings” (1958) in his pocket. Fate and the film industry work, however, in a strange way. The role went to Connery, and the story proved that the choice was solid. As for Niven, he was also able to play the role once … after a fashion, anyway.

Niven’s contribution to the history on James Bond’s screen is the famous non-starry parody “Casino Royale” (1967) which tends to remember less than with emotion. The comic film poses the character’s version of the character as a original James Bond, which leaves retirement for a last explosive mission (thus a pioneer of the theory “each actor of Bond depicts a different guy” who continues to float). It is enough to say that the final result is so far from the original novel by Ian Fleming and the Bond Films which / Film did not bother to include this version of “Casino Royale” on our James Bond films ranking.

After Sean Connery left the role of James Bond for the first time in the wake of “You Only Live Twice” (1967), the redesign of the secret agent became a necessity – but a necessity which posed his share of difficulties. The Proverbial finger finally underlined the Australian model George Lazenby, who had even less experience in the cinema than Connery when he had been selected in the role.

In a way, it worked well. Lazenby’s only contribution in this role was “in His Majesty’s secret services” (1969), which is in fact one of the best Bond films, and it is in no way bad in the role. In another, more significant way, throwing someone who was not a experienced pro may have been an error with regard to continuity. Lazenby openly hated the experience of making the film and has not continued as leap, effectively disappear from Hollywood after this major role. Connery ended up returning to the Plé Eon Productions to play Bond in “Diamonds Are Forever” from 1971.

Until the embodiment of Daniel Craig arrives much later, James Bond of Timothy Dalton was the only 007 to be a really credible killer. Instead of the buffoon with fling and suave fling action, Dalton opted for a relatively realistic and brutal version of the character who required a very specific type of film to really work. Unfortunately, he never had one. The “The Living Daylights” (1987) and the slightly forgettable license “to Kill” (1989) remain the only Bond films in Dalton, putting a front of Lazenby but leaving him a film or two of the kind of inheritance he would have deserved.

Interestingly, in another reality, Dalton could have received another blow in the role. Among the matching scripts for the potential pursuit of Dalton 007 history, there was A James Bond film canceled Called “Reunion with Death”, which would have sent Bond during its first mission to Japan since “You Live Twice” by Sean Connery and even aroused links with this film. Of course, nothing has ever come to it, and James Bond left Martinis to sip on the sidelines until Pierce Brosnan resumes the role.

The arrival of Pierce Brosnan in the mid -1990s while James Bond marked a transition to the sensitivity of the adventure of the action of the series after the more casual mandate of Timothy Dalton in the late 1980s. Brosnan delivered a performance which was both a collection of “greater successes” of 007 traits and still entirely his own vision of the character. Brosnan’s bond has charm, spirit and authentic tenacity, and the incarnation turned out to be lasting enough to play in four films.

As the James Bond films disappear, Brosnan’s mandate generated at least a certifiable jewel. “Goldeneye” (1995) was and remains nothing less than a masterpiece which is memorable – among others – his assortment of incredible action scenes and the brilliantly villain agent of Sean Bean, Alec “006” Trevelyan. “Tomorrow Never Dies” (1997), “The World is not auth” (1999), and especially the abyssal “Die Another Day” (2002) failed to reproduce the sensations, but they nevertheless have many pleasant moments, and there is not little refusal that Brosnan has more than held as a bond actor.

Daniel Craig has maintained a healthy career without object for a large part of his mandate 007 and threatened to leave so many times that it is difficult to count, but he has nevertheless made no less than five (mainly) films of impressive links before closing the file on this particular incarnation of the secret agent in a conclusive manner. The first of Craig’s films was of course “Casino Royale” (2006), which could very well be the best Bond film ever made. He almost wiped his namesake from 1967 in history books by delivering a new 007, a woman, a woman on foot of any other in Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), and one of the James Bond’s greatest bad guys from all time In Mads, Mikkelsen’s figure.

As with Pierce Brosnan, the stellar opening law has been difficult to follow. “Quantum of Solece” (2008), “Specter” (2015) and “No Time to Die” (2021) are all offers significantly lower than the beginnings on Craig’s obligations, with only “Skyfall” (2012) approaching in terms of quality. However, on the whole, a very decent argument could be advanced that Craig’s James Bond films were the most coherent in the lot, which says something because it is one of the three most prolific bond actors.

Ah, yes, Sean Connery. The first and, for many, the best actor of James Bond began his work in “Dr. No” (1962), and the success of the film generated five suites directed by Connery: “From Russia with Love” (1963), “Goldfinger” (1964), “Thunderball” (1965), “You only Live Twice” “Dionds Are Forever”. It is six bond films of eon productions in less than a decade, many of which are in the discussion whenever the best films in James Bond are named.

Connery also has a seventh Bond film with his name. In 1983 – The year “Octopussy” presented his first – Roger Moore was already deeply in his mandate in 007 when the original link came back to do what David Niven had done to him in 1967: making a competing film and not linked to James, representing an older link in his last mission. Final Final of Connery James Bond is called “Never Say Never Again”, and it is indeed a lower remix of “Thunderball”, which is itself far from the best film 007. Nevertheless, this non-Eon appearance leaves Connery with a large commendable total of seven appearances in the films of James Bond, which would be more than sufficient to win … if it was not the fact that a bond actor Smoking.

Sean Connery is perhaps the choice of many James Bond fans for the best 007, but Roger Moore makes him beat like the most prolific … Although he is a few centimeters. Moore’s distinguished but relatively clear vision on the character made his debut in “Live and Let Die” (1973), and went to play the role to “A View to A Kill” (1985). Between these two films were “The Man With The Golden Gun” (1974), “The Spy Who Loved Me” (1977), “Moonraker” (1979), “For Your Eyes Only” (1981), and “Octopussy” (1983), which gives Moore de Moore films all films on films, he wins on a technique number.

Unlike many of his Bond colleagues, Moore has never transformed his reputation 007 into a massive film career after leaving the franchise. Although he did not stop acting after “Octopussy” by all means, the actor was more likely to appear in cameo roles and support films like the film in Martial Arts by Jean-Claude from 1996 “The Quest” than the kind of Blockbusters and Boy-loved Blocks like Connery and Daniel Craig. Of course, it should be noted that his lack of presence on the screen may have had a little to do with the fact that Moore retired from James Bond Films at the age of the end of 58 years – Not to mention his total dedication to his role as a goodwill ambassador of UNICEF, a role in which he served from 1991 to 2018.
