You guys are crazy... The best James Bond in a tux was Sir David Niven in Casino Royale, with Peter Sellers....

Replacement pick for me is Alex Trebek

SchnookoLoly and DaveLovesDee will also need a new pick. Schnooks is running away with the contest so far - three croakers with two months left to play....

When I saw it, I thought it said Jeff Sessions, and I got real excited, thought Mother Nature had struck a blow for democracy.

Jings, you are updated for Sean Connery.

I have added Bob Barker to my list.

I'm leading with 56.
Jings is in second with 45.
And DaveLovesDee with 35.

Indeed. Part of the furniture of British TV comedy, from Butterflies, Fawlty Towers, Reginald Perrin and As Time Goes By to films including the aforementioned Bond, A Fish Called Wanda... and of course as the narrator of Grumpy Old Men.

I suppose he was a bit typecast as the slightly bewildered and a little bit put-upon middle class gent somewhat out of his depth but struggling on regardless. But he played that role so well, and with spectacularly good timing as the foil for more flamboyant characters, even in otherwise rather bland and ordinary sitcoms.
