Every James Bond Movie Actor Ranked Worst To Best

6. George Lazenby

George Lazenby remains the only actor to portray 007 in just one movie. At twenty-nine, he's also the youngest to land the role, and actually had no acting experience before producer Albert Broccoli suggested him for the part.

An Australian model, he was spotted by Broccoli whilst getting his hair cut, and since Sean Connery had just left the role (temporarily, at least), the producer made it clear that Lazenby could make a name for himself as the next 007.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service ended up being a bit of a critical flop upon release, with Lazenby himself receiving some criticism for his performance. Over the years, though, both film and actor have acquired something of a cult following, and Lazenby has become an admittedly divisive fan favourite.

Playing Bond as a romantic and vulnerable spy attempting to escape from life as an agent, the actor never really stood-out in the film, despite certainly looking the part, and his lack of acting experience shines through during the movie's bigger, more emotionally charged moments.

Of course, it also doesn't help that he left the franchise early, meaning that he never got a chance to improve on his debut.
