Does David Niven "count" as a James Bond?

It was one of the non-Eon Productions' Bonds that cast David Niven as
Bond-"Casino Royale" (1967).
He probably never remembered the Casino Royale TV-presentation, which cast
Barry Nelson as Bond-that is to be expected.

shit.
I don't think Barry Nelson should count either, although I have no problem
with the 1954 TV version of Casino Royale. A bit different from the book, a bit
of changes, but still serious. Pretty damn good for a live show.

fans that only consider Eon Bond films to really be Bond films, that's their
problem. Less movies to work with.

You forgot Michael Jayston, he played Bond in a radio adaptation of YOLT in the
'90s.

Bob Holness is the fellow who walks in front of the gun barrel just before
the opening credits of Dr. No.

remained as such until changing screen ratios and processes required Connery
to take his turn at the famous twist and fire. All the following Bonds have
done their own.

have several hundred names of actors playing Bond, not to mention Woody
Allen as well!
Let's stick to the 5, and let Casino Royale (the American TV special and
the comedy relief movie) drop.
Rich Handley
didn't play James Bond. The poster asked how many people played James
Bond -- Niven and Nelson DID play them, so they're part of the answer.

Thank-you. I was about to go to the Internet Movie Database and look for "Bob
Holness." You idiots even knocked down felix's self-esteem. Now apologise.

Did David Niven bond as a Count?

Service. The performance is fine, and as it's the straightest adaptation
of Ian Fleming, a real favorite with those of us who liked the novels.
The controversy was created by Lazenby himself who refused to honor his
seven movie commitment, which is why they gave Connery the truck full of
money to return for Diamonds Are Forever.

vein of Goldfinger. A lot of it still works today. In several movies,
like For Your Eyes Only, Moore gave a good performance playing Fleming's
Bond. He could act when he tried. I always liked the guy as he had a
nice sense of humor.

liked it. Nevertheless, Quantum of Solace is one of the worst movies
I've ever seen. Probably his best movie was Skyfall.
