Who was the first actor to ever play James Bond?
Barry Nelson was the first actor to play James Bond. The adaptation of Casino Royal broadcasted in October 1954 on CBS was first just a part of Climax! anthology series. No one knew then that James Bond were going to become the most famous spy ever!
What are your thoughts on this subject?

You have to be a true fan to know it was Barry Nelson, and over the age of 50.

The bluray disk of the Daniel Craig Casio Royale film had the Barry Nelson Casino Royale as an extra.

Nice twist. My favorite Bond movie would be "The Spy Who Loved Me". Barbara Bach is still my fav Bond girl!!! (Lucky Ringo!!!)

Sean Connery: 1961–1967, 1970–1971 and 1982–1983. Sean Connery was the first actor to portray Bond in film in Dr. No (1962). A Scottish amateur bodybuilder, he had come to the attention of the Bond film producers after several appearances in British films from the late 1950s.

Since David Niven wasn't an option I picked the one I'd never heard of. It was before my time and my parents but only just.

Do not Google the answer cause you will get it wrong. Google says Sean Connery.

Never heard of Climax, didn't grow up in North America and as someone stated, Google says it is Sean Connery. Always will be. One show in one country and one episode...did not realize this quiz was for US citizens only. Think I'll go back to Sporcle, like it better anyway.

We are not all based in the USA. I thought this was general knowledge. Will we have questions on Blue Peter or Coronation Street too...
