Who He is and why
he makes hearts twitterpate: Like I said, there's something about a
James Bond that just screams sexy. I don't know if it's the cool, collected
manner in which he does the job, the witty remarks, or maybe it's the blue
eyes, or the high-class, sophisticated British accent. Whatever it is,
melts me like buttah! He may have done only a relatively short stint as
007 (two films, even though he was originally contractually obligated to
do 3), Timothy Dalton is (thus far) my favourite of the five who have taken
on the job. I think that this is probably because "The Living Daylights"
(Dalton's first Bond movie) was the first Bond movie that I ever saw and
cared to pay attention to throughout the run-time. It continues to be my
favourite Bond movie. Incidentally, I was reading that Mr. Dalton
is actually very glad to have passed the Bond torch on to Pierce Brosnan
because he felt that too many people were trying to identify him with the
role. He was really getting sick of people assuming that he wanted a vodka
martini, shaken, not stirred. Indeed, Dalton has done MANY other works
in his carreer. Some parts include the villain in The Rocketeer, Rhett
Butler in the mini-series follow up to "Gone With The Wind", Scarlett,
Boris Pochenko in the Beautician and the Beast, the ill-fated Caesar in
a recent made for tv movie, Cleopatra, and a tough-talking interrogator
in The Informant.

James Bond. Cool and collected, as always. A British agent never panicks.
This
may be back in the day, but I still think he's sexy as hell.
Cleopatra was a lucky girl...
