Timothy Dalton was the very first actor to portray Bond as a serious, dark and gritty reinventing James Bond long before Daniel Craig. He may have only done 2 Bond Movies but at least he has had the honour of having the 2 best entries in the Series. Definitely my favourite Bond, as he stayed true to the original Fleming Books.

Timothy Dalton is terrific, probably the last of a generation in the classically trained Shakespearean actors.

We then got him in Chuck, Penny Dreadful, Doom Patrol, The Crown, and Yellowstone 1923. It’s a shame we never got his 3rd bond film.

My respect and love for Dalton’s portrayal as James Bond has only grown over the years. He was trying so hard to break Bond free from “the formula” and yet was unfortunately impossibly chained to it. It also didn’t help that he was following Roger Moore who, in the 7 films he had done, had ingrained his lighter, more funny, more relaxed Bond into the psyche of the film going public. What I absolutely love about Dalton’s Bond is that he had all these subtleties to his performance. He wasn’t trying to play Bond as a one liner superhero stereotype. He was a man. An imperfect man who at times, let his emotions show through when things got the better of him. For the first time in a LONG time, you FELT what it was like to be Bond and much of the time, it was NOT pleasant. Dalton made Bond once again a man you could genuinely believe was who he said he was. As far as I’m concerned, Dalton walked so Craig could run.

one of the better vids from JBlo....Dalton for many who appreciate fine performances has been something of a mystery on why his career never took off the way it should have, he starred in one of the best 007 movies - Living Daylights which certainly set the stage for Craig's super-serious Bond movies....and he lights up every movie or TV series he's in .. whether that b Jane Eyre or the excellent Penny Dreadful which has the distinction of being one of the few TV projects to utilize great performers like him, Eva Green and even Josh Hartnett to perfection. I think someone like Nolan should cast him in his next movie since we have clearly seen what gr8 performances he can squeeze from his actors like in Oppenheimer, a movie that was recognized mostly for its great performances...Nolan and Dalton is a no-brainer.

I remember telling my friends who were too young to know that there was another bond besides Roger Moore or Sean Connery... I myself was puzzled until years later when I saw the movies

Daltz! Loved him. Damn shame he didn't get more Bond films. And both The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill made a lot of money worldwide especially Daylights which outgrossed many of Roger's movies. Unfortunately Licence to Kill got lost in the 1989 summer crush in the US but it did well elsewhere still making money for MGM/UA. He would have got a third film if not for the MGM legal issues which halted Bond films for the next six years.

Slightly incorrect to say Brosnan was approached first, he wasn’t Timothy was. At the time he was filming Brenda Starr and when approached he said they would have to delay the start so he could finish his current project. At this point the powers that be decided to approach Brosnan so they wouldn’t have to delay shooting & then the Remington Steele extension threw a spanner in the works with Cubby declaring “Remington Steele will not be James Bond”. By this time there had been enough of a delay that Timothy had was pretty much done Brenda Starr so they approached him again & he accepted. He went straight from wrapping Brenda Starr to filming the Living Daylights. I’m not sure where the whole Brosnan was the original choice came from but it isn’t accurate. The greatest shame of the franchise was not getting the 1991 film that was promoted at Cannes 1990 & the 1993 film. By the time GoldenEye was being written with him in mind he was out of contract but did want to do it until Cubby stated he wanted him to do at least five & Timothy decided to resign from the part officially. I can’t help but wonder if he was offered the same movie by movie deal Roger got in the 80s if we would have seen a couple more from him. One thing is for sure, if you watch the BAFTA show on Bond from 2003 that is on here you will see him being interviewed & it cuts to Brosnan whose final movie Die Another Day had been released a couple of times. Despite being older than Brosnan, Timothy actually looks younger which demonstrates he could have played Bond until 2003 like Cubby wanted. It’s a shame we only got the two & will always feel GoldenEye would have been so much better with Dalton as Bond. Some of reasons LTK didn’t make the money it should have are the fact they changed the name from Licence Revoked after they spent the promotional budget so it didn’t get the promo push it needed. It was also released to battle along side the likes of Batman, Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade, Lethal Weapon 2, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Ghostbusters 2 & even Dead Poets Society. Domestically it was also given a 15 rating when all Bond films before that were rated PG which ,east kids weren’t allowed to see it. Why they chose to release it in the summer in the US when the market was saturated with blockbusters is beyond me. Daniel Craig isn’t James Bond, he is Bond in name only. They’ve taken away far too many character traits, Bond films are now just generic secret agent movies.
