And much like James Bond himself this thread has returned..
Aw, poor Tim Dalton is the only actor on the poll yet to receive any votes. Even Lazenby got one and he had the shortest stint of any of the official Bond actors, though to be fair "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was a pretty good little flick and one of the few movies to be almost identical to the Ian Fleming novel from which it was based on.
Looking back on the Dalton Bond movies (The Living Daylights and License to Kill) you would have to admit they were pretty ahead of their time as you can tell that the producers wanted a grittier more realistic Bond to try and distance the series from the fun yet campy films of the Roger Moore era. Much in the same way Casino Royal was their successful attempt to try and distance the series from the fun yet campy later 2 films of the Brosnan era.
