91Å·ÃÀ¼¤Çé examines five actors who almost played Bond.
Introduction
Six men have portrayed 007 in the EON series, but none of them were givens for the role.
Ian Fleming at first thought that Sean Connery was completely wrong for the role, only to be proven wrong to such a point that Fleming added Scottish heritage to Bond’s character in the last novel he wrote.
When the role opened and reopened, producers had to make difficult decisions in which direction the series had to go.
Here are a few near-misses.
