| The James Bond You Never Heard Of |
And it was obvious. The Bond actors.
The montage of film clips was nice, of course, but no one who has ever seen a James Bond film can ever forget that it is the actors who played the starring role of Britain's Best Spy who made the series what it was.
And what was missing at the Oscars? The actors. Oh the singing was great, but at the end, all of the living actors to have played the Bond role should have been onstage. We didn't see them. So here they are, under the theory of better late than never.
Pierce Brosnan had the role in four films from 1995 to 2002.
Timothy Dalton had two roles between 1987 and 1989.
In 1983 Sean Connery played his last roles in 1983.
1973 to 1985 saw Roger Moore as Bond.
1971 saw the release of Sean Connery in the role again.
1969 George Lazenby, at the time the world's highest paid male model, took on the Bond role but it was a one-film stand.
Sean Connery had the role from 1962 to 1967 in five films.
Everyone has their favorite Bond actor but missing from the Oscars tonight? All of them. It would have been quite something to see them standing there onstage, shoulder to shoulder. And I suspect I'm not the only one who wished it were so.
