A blond bond! Who could stand for that? So, I didn’t know what to expect as I went sat down in the theater and the lights began to dim for “Casino Royale.”
Thus, along with hundreds of other Bond fans, I was apprehensive when Brosnan quit and Daniel Craig, last seen in Spielberg’s “Munich,” was hired. I thought he was spot on with the humor and charm that is James Bond.
Then along came Pierce Brosnan and blew audiences away with his performance, becoming the second most popular Bond ever. Timothy Dalton also tried and failed miserably. Roger Moore tried to fill them and was only a moderate success. When Sean Connery left the role of James Bond forever in 1971, he left some very empty shoes to fill.
