Both Pierce and Sean played Bond with that same sleek, smooth, charismatic, sexy signature as it was intended by it's creator. I salute both men.

[@SardaukarNo1]

bronsnan was too effeminate to be menacing at all

[@FishOnTwoWheels1]

Actually, as good as they both were, Flemming is said to have stated the "darker" version of 007 performed by Timothy Dalton, was the closest to what Ian intended.

[@ragnarlodbrok1233]

Ike N dalton was the best!

[@FishOnTwoWheels1]

@Ike N First off, there is no need to lower the one of this site by throwing accusations of "liar" towards people. It would have been as sufficient to state his passing. Secondly, excuse me for daring to make an error BUT I meant to say FRIENDS of Fleming have been quoted as saying that THEY believe Dalton came closest to what Fleming intended. Either way, you can make your point without resorting to insults you know?

[@e-musickvance3581]

FishOn2Wheels1 Yea you could argue that Dalton was what Ian Fleming envisioned in the books. But Ian never said Dalton or any other 007 actor was the best because he passed away like during production of Goldfinger. Dalton was Bond at the wrong time unfortunately.

[@rexspencer5107]

Pierce Brosnan is a class act!

[@Flianzd]

Oh YEAH!!!

[@LRS905]

Pierce Brosnan...I have a mancrush.

[@waynej2608]

I totally agree. Pierce did a bang up job there; eloquent, colorful and with the wit and charm, befitting a 007. Sean Connery will always be number one, for me, but Brosnan, also a tremendous actor, did the franchise proud!

[@MrSwiss67]

Amen and out !

[@JamesBondCanada]

Rex Spencer absolutely!

[@AtlasBlizzard]

I can not get over how well-spoken Brosnan is. What a suave, sophisticated and charismatic man. He was, and always will be, my ideal Bond. He just nailed everything; the looks, the charms and the ruthlessness.

[@HarryHunterx]

I totally agree with your perception. In that respect he is or was the perfect image of James Bond. But my first Bond on screen was Roger Moore and I loved every bit of his performances. They were so witty. With Sean Connery I much preferred his later films. To me he is like good wine. The older he got, the better his play or presence on stage became.

[@OriginalPuro]

It's the power of something as simple as just speaking properly, not "na'mean y'all" or some yo shit or any of that hood speak aka "American English".

[@lilythomson881]

Seth, I wouldn't say "ruthlessness", it was more "determination".

[@unomas17]

Lily Thomson “Menacing” would be my choice of word. Pierce had that cold blooded stare that you would expect Bond to have whenever he pulled the trigger.

[@jgambe78]

[@Mathilderx1]

"You are a man who has created his own legend far greater than Bond" Love that sentence !

[@srinivasamoorthy1]

What a complete man Pierce Brosnan is!! Not just good looking...acting, inherent style, charm, controlled expressions...and now I can add his oratorical skills to his repertoire!

[@mm6mm66mm6mm]

The audience was mesmerized by Brosnan's speech. That's how you give a speech. From the heart and with total honesty.

[@thegoodsgone1965]

Brosnan is my personal favourite Bond. He really doesn't get enough credit for his portrayal of the character.

[@MScorpioM]

Agreed, he is and always will be my favorite Bond. Unfortunately, he fell victim to terrible scriptwriting. Goldeneye was his best, TND was decent, but the remainder of them fell far short of the mark. TWINE had terrible story and miscast actors, while DAD relied too much on gadgets, stunt and horrible CGI.

[@MyTimeOutt]

Pierce Brosnan's tribute was so simple & moving. It does not get better than this.

it's nice to see not everyone's hating on Brosnan for a change. was definitely my favorite Bond

[@UltraVibeProductions]

[@joeziadan]

He's not really in my top 4 Bonds, but I still like him nonetheless.

[@marjanp4784]

I don't know why his tribute brought tears in my eyes...I believe Pierce himself went emotional at the end, his voice was breaking, both of them are my favorite Bonds...RIP Sir Sean ❤️

[@michaelmitchell5380]

"A proud Celtic kid" How wonderful! This speech almost brings me to tears. Pierce what humility and compassion! We all think you're just ACTORS, yet here you show us the human quality which you bring to the screen/stage. So beautiful@

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

There's some good foreshadowing past and present with this bit. The producers foreshadowed his story about The World Is Not Enough by actually using that movie's theme for his walk-out song, and his proud Celtic background would wrap right back around to his Black Adam interview where an equally proud Celtic guy tells Pierce he grew up around the same area as him, which melts his heart so fast, you'd swear that Icarus beam from Die Another Day just struck the studio.

[@tiffsaver]

I had the pleasure of acting with Pierce many years ago (don't want to say HOW many), on "Remington Steele." I remember him being an incredibly kind gent, without any of that phony Hollywood bluster that ruins your image of your screen heroes. A sweet man, without any pretense or artifice, and in this town, that's quite an accolade. He deserves all the success, because he's earned it.

[@RF0816]

Wow that's amazing, both having worked as a good actor and had met Pierce, such a classy men

[@MyTimeOutt]

+tiffsaver What a beautiful thing to say about another person! So happy for your experience & glad to know this about him.

[@tiffsaver]

+Thomas Outt I meant every word of it. If you're a fan, you MUST watch "The Matador." It was the funniest, best movie I'd seen that entire year. Be prepared for an experience you'll never forget :)

[@RoodeMenon]

+tiffsaver My sister has all the episodes of Steele. And i used to imitate Steele by starting off with a very propah "Laura...." I mean really... Pierce was destined to play Bond in some point of his life. I personally think Craig is a low point in the MI6 world. We need a deadly assassin with a pretty boy gentleman cover. I am wishing for a new Moore or Brosnan.

[@tiffsaver]

+Rudolf Menon The Bonds of today are just a reflection of the times. Softness or gentility just don't cut it anymore. Just watch all of the escalating violence, even in video games!

[@casandrabarnes-oq9fy]

This tribute brought tears to my 74 year old eyes. I remember the first time I went to the theater and saw Sir Sean as James Bond. I enjoyed all of the artists who followed him, but there was always the presence of Sir Sean. No one compared. He is and will always be the man who brought this character to life. Rest and peace knowing that you still loved and appreciated. ❤❤

[@rr7firefly]

Damn, the tribute speeches on this night were through the roof. Beautiful words beautifully said.

[@TimohaNorveg]

Connery and Brosnan is two best bonds

[@AndrewChapman]

That is so weird. They are my top two favourite Bonds too, although I have grown to like Daniel Craig.

[@mgkpraesi]

Roger Moore was great too. I liked his humor.

[@AndrewChapman]

mgkpraesi Oh yes, definitely Roger Moore. He is the longest-serving James Bond to date as he appeared in 7 official Bond movies in 12 years. It's funny really because when he became Bond, he was asked NOT to portray him like Simon Templar in The Saint, but that is exactly what he did. Timothy Dalton was great as well even though he only starred in 2. George Lazenby was the only one who I wasn't too keen on. I felt he was trying to be too much like Sean Connery.

[@Doommaster1994]

Not only that, but he was an Australian model, not an actor. I'm not sure what gave anyone the idea he'd be a great Bond.

[@Mike81581]

mgkpraesi There are many movies that portrayed humor with murder. The sadistic enemy is one I happily see destroyed. A dish best served cold.

[@lukedaley17]

Brilliant Speech, Pierce. It’s great to hear Sir Sean’s successors praise and recognise him as the True definitive James Bond. Sean Connery was a legend and legends never die.

Some actors are always "on" no matter where they are. After a while and comfortable with themselves they slowly "come out", wearily at first but they all come out eventually. Sometimes that is good and sometimes bad for their career. The illusion is often better then the reality.
