Daniel Craig is an even tougher act to follow as James Bond than Sean Connery was. Craig is the longest-tenured actor to play James Bond, despite only starring in five 007 movies. Craig's first movie was 2006's Casino Royale and his final film as Bond was 2021's No Time To Die. Daniel Craig's run as James Bond grossed a combined $3,958,969,397 at the worldwide box office, with 2012's Skyfall ranking as the highest-grossing Bond movie ever with $1.1-billion worldwide.

✕ Remove Ads Unfortunately, George Lazenby did not take a shine to the role of James Bond, believing the character was irrelevant as the calendar turned to the 1970s. Similarly, audiences didn't buy Lazenby as Sean Connery's successor. Lazenby quit the James Bond franchise, and Connery returned for another outing as 007, starring in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever.
Regardless, Roger Moore's tenure as James Bond was wildly successful. Before Craig eclipsed him, Moore was the longest-serving James Bond actor, from 1973's Live and Let Die to 1985's A View to a Kill. Moore also starred in 7 James Bond movies, the most of any actor unless one counts Sean Connery's 'unofficial' Bond, Never Say Never Again.
