Rank the James Bond actors according to your preferences

Mine:

1. Sean Connery
2. Timothy Dalton
3. Daniel Craig
4. Pierce Brosnan
5. George Lazenby
6. Roger Moore.

Partly this is due to my reading of how Fleming presents Bond e.g. in the novel of "Goldfinger" which the film was a fairly faithful adaptation of. I think the Moore films became a but too comedic for me at times.

Thanks, everyone for your ranks so far! Very interesting. Not surprised Moore is rated higher by most than by me, and Dalton lower. I don't dislike Moore, I just think most of his scripts had more humour in them than suited me, personally, though I did enjoy most of the films. I think Dalton had a real bash at nailing the character from the books, and nailed just right. I also think "Licence to Kill" was one of the most under-rated Bond films ever. As was "On His Majesty's Secret Service," which I thought was excellent though Lazenby wasn't anywhere near as popular as Connery.
