What about Grant/Flynn as Bond

name='Dave Homewood']The first actor to play James Bond in any form was Barry Nelson, an American actor, in an adaptation of Casino Royale for US television in 1954. The villain was played by the incomperable Peter Lorre. Nelson wasn't too bad either, but nowhere near as good as Daniel Craig.

I've seen clips of the Barry Nelson TV Bond and it looks awful, I mean Bond with an American accent! Daniel Craig is superb as Bond, no comparison for me!

I have the production on dvd ... it is no better or worse than most US TV shows of the time. Nelson is fine in the role but it's not the James Bond we all know ... he's known Jimmy by British agent Clarence Leiter. Lorre is fine as Le Chiffre but looks very tired.

BN wanted to play Bond as in the books but had a crew cut hanging over from another acting roles and was forced by the producers to Americanise JB.
