He is and he only did one Bond film where he was real serious that was only because of the story about being revenge 🎰 and his second was his last I'm sure if they would have let him do more bond films there could have been so much more he could have did with the character if they would have let him🎲
License to Kill was easily one of the best Bond films. I did not appreciate him when I was a Kid watching bond films with my dad and brother. Always thought Connery was the best. Then Casino Royale came out and I rewatched Dalton’s two bonds. Really wish he had more of them.
I feel The Living Daylights is one of the best. “Girl with the cello!” Great synth-pop contribution from A-ha. Great Winter action scenes with the gorgeous Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Series 2, (technically a Volante?) And to add- he was the man to bring the darker, more serious, steely and sufficiently brutal Bond back to the screen. Nothing against Roger Moore, but the last few Bond films before Daylights were getting pretty campy and silly. Dalton did a much deserved, refreshing and excellent job with the character.
I've yet to see that one, but I saw his first one, "The Living Daylights," and it blew me away. Probably my favorite Bond flick I've seen so far. I felt like it was just in general a great film, not just as a Bond film. (Although the bit about Muslim "freedom fighters" in the middle east portrayed as saints and heroes probably hasn't aged as well, but okay not the movie's fault) Sean Connery is still perhaps the most iconic for me. The definition of suave, gentleman agent. All the Bonds are great. They cast them well.
@@marjanp4784 yeah really I’m coming from a woman’s perspective of the character. Oh my God I wanted to be that bond girl I was jealous of her. I didn’t know what to think. I mean you know to be afraid of him and run away or just run into his arms as I tell you, the man is stunning in his voice, Lord and it’s just sad that they didn’t give him more movies to do because I would have loved them. It’s just a Bomer and a big let down of the franchise but here we have our pond the one in the novels and it’s just sad but well done Timothy Dalton well done and if you’re listening to me you will always be my bond always and forever
What a career he has had. I recall him as Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights and Mr Rochester in Jane Eyre. Why are they trying to americanize him here...he is British acting royalty. He is intellectual and gorgeous.
Timothy Dalton is the best Bond! Bad ass while also being charming at the same time. The Living Daylights was a good movie despite lackluster ending. License to Kill is most underrated Bond movie ever and great movie in general! Didn't do the usual formula which worked in this case! Best Bond Villain since very realistic. Pam Bouvier is the best Bond Girl as she kicks butt and is independent. Q has a bigger role. Finally, stakes are higher since no back-up and no guarantee that plan will work. Would have loved to see more of him as Bond, weirdly enough his role in "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" brings closure to his time as Bond!
Yeah and this was 99 too, I'm so gutted he didn't carry on as bond. I see why he didn't tho, by the time of goldeneye he was hitting 50 and they still wanted him to do another 4 or 5 movies . Sod that . They should of just given him a one film rolling contract, then he could just bow out whenever he wanted
@@80skid83 he wanted to come back but the studio wanted a new Bond 🎰 to start fresh with 🎲but it is to bad we didn't at least get a 1992 or 1993 Dalton Bond film I'm sure he would have been great 🍿
@@IAMDigiMortal that’s why they call it the biggest blunder in bond history they had an actor who looked like the character and played it to a T and with the lawsuit and everything going on back then in the franchise going dormant for six years really and by the time it was time for them to renew his contract he said one film they wanted more and he left. Then we got Brosnan and that was a devastating thing to me because I watched goldeneye on cable my house, and believe me when I watch that movie I got really pissed because that movie called and I was Taylor made for Dalton not for Brosnan. Really thanks for nothing.
Sean and Timothy are my two favorite Bonds. He did a fantastic job! A great actor all around but my highlight is License to kill one of the best Bond films. Living Daylights is a great one too but that 1989 classic is so great!
@@bonghunezhou5051 I'd argue even his portrayal in The Living Daylights (as well as elements of the film itself) set the stage for Craig-era Bond films. He eschews most of the humor and displays a sleek professionalism, not wasting time in getting the job done, unlike Connery. Not to mention the political elements of the film like the inclusion of the Mujahideen aren't dissimilar to how Spectre included modern-day political themes like mass surveillance.
The guy’s passionate about his work and takes his work seriously, and yet, can goof around nevertheless when it’s allowed. His last scene in Licence To Kill proves this!
Connery Dalton Craig In that order, the rest don't really matter to me. I would say Dalton was a close second to Connery. Connery the best as he did more movies , but if Dalton did have a good run he could of been better than Connery. Early Craig was great too, but late Craig was a bit meh. His films went downhill the longer he stayed in the role , was just doing it for money in the end. Connery went same way too, his later films were pretty bad
A decade prior (summer of 1989), Dalton's final 007 entry ("Licence/Kill") also had the misfortune of going up against another Lucasfilm juggernaut, predictably being overwhelmed at the box office; history repeating itself indeed. {IMHO, the best Bond, and one of my sentimental faves, along with Thomas Sean Connery}
Умный, остроумный, образованный, начитанный,мастер речи и просто отличный собеседник!!! Настоящий джентльмен, знаменитый артист и это всё в одном лице- Тимати Далтон!!! БРАВО МАЭСТРО!!! 🌹🎬🎤🎧🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
@johnsampson6387 No. The man was doing it with a southern twang, a combination of two characters Timothy was talking about. Robin Williams didn't do it with a twang in Aladdin.
'95 born millenial fan here whose first 007 was Brosnan, and favorite is Craig. But if i was born at least 5 years earlier, then,Dalton would've been my favorite. His two films as Bond just eclipsed a lot of the fears in my life in my twenties as i‘ve discovered the older Bond films.
Timothy Dalton was a great James Bond. He's also a great actor. He could've played a wide range of roles like Batman, Darkman, or Oppenheimer. Directors and producers should use him more.
They should. I don’t know if HE wants to. According to everyone on the living daylights, he’s a very shy person and was incredibly overwhelmed and Somewhat uncomfortable by the humongous amount of media attention to bond. He seems much more at ease with supporting roles rather than leading.
Why did he allow Pierce Brosnan to overshadow his career? He could do the Beautician and The Beast, but not a couple of more Bond Films? Here he looks like he could play Bond for another 3 films easily
If Dalton really respected his fans, he would have finished out the 1990s playing Bond for 3 films, having a total of 5 and give proper closure. Then Clive Owen should have replaced him. Owen and Dalton have the same height, dark features, brooding attitude, etc. Watch Clive Owen in the International. Essentially he is a younger version of Timothy Dalton
He was offered a third Bond film but he refused after Cubby Broccoli told him that in return for doing the film he would have to sign a contract for five more Bonds, and apparently Dalton didnt care to sign the contract. He must have been taking lessons from George Lazenby.
He RESPECTULLY declined. Unlike Connery, there was no animosity between him and cubby. He simply said no and Walked Away but unlike lazenby he didn’t regret it at all. It was a job to him nothing more.
When he was offered goldeneye and he almost accepted...But was told he would have to appear in 4 or 5 additionally movies. He would of been on his 2nd addiontally movie here if he accepted....He still looked good. I wish he did Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never dies. Perice could of game in at World is not enough and given the same performance.
The closest Bond to the Fleming description we have had.. Underestimated.. Underappreciated.. No Dalton.. No Craig.. Dalton defined the hard edge Bond.. Connery's the man but he surpassed him in the actor stakes.. He should have done a 3rd. Brosnan is great too but we were denied a trilogy of Dalton.. A fine actor..
Great actor, great bond great Caesar just as long as this man does not wear Stetson in front of me. I’d have to lock myself in the bathroom and cry until he left.
And then when he says Star Wars God, the sexiest thing I’ve ever heard because I’m a Star Wars fan and a bond fan and when he said Star Wars, the way, he said it God help me
@@mizoere He also voiced for one anime " The tales from earthsea" and his character's name was sparrow hawk. Unfortunately that anime wasn't well received.
A great actor, and an underrated Bond
My favorite bond
The best Bond ever
Dalton is famous for not liking to do press, but you wouldn't know it from this interview - such a class act. Ian Fleming's James Bond in the flesh.
He only does press with people he's a fan of or likes lol.
@@sickpup820 Pretty sure it's a contractual obligation to promote whatever it is an actor was working on.
@@UnchainedEruption It usually is, yes. Jeremy Irons says he acts for free, and is paid to do the promotion :D
Dalton seems like a wonderful guy with an excellent sense of humor.

He is by far to me the best Bond ever and I had a real thing for him a while ago he was so gorgeous and he's a good actor.
He indeed was. The closest one to Ian's Bond.
We all dead, and did you see him and hot fuzz the man is a genius, a pure genius. I laughed my ass off.
He is a great and versatile actor and clearly a charming man.
What a career he has had. I recall him as Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights and Mr Rochester in Jane Eyre. Why are they trying to americanize him here...he is British acting royalty. He is intellectual and gorgeous.
Timothy Dalton Actor Is Charmingly A+ Sophisticated, Daring, Dangerous.Great Actor.
Andy’s joke about how it might have just been him was fucking hilarious, and deserved more love from the audience
My favorite bond, I love how real he is as a person, thanks for such an amazing interpretation of bond.
My favorite bond.
He is so god damn charming
This man is so charming, no wonder he got the role for Bond.
Timothy Dalton is by far my favorite Bond
That voice.❤
He constantly smiles but his eyes say more! They are always so joyful and happy~Sentimental too~

Them two are definitely the best
Underrated Bond. Though Craig is my favorite, you can see how Dalton's films paved the way for Casino Royale and the rest.
I agree he was a great Bond
His _second/final_ 007 film arguably had paved the way for those gritty, brutal Craig films that all of us have become familiar with.

Imagine Dalton in Casino Royale? That would’ve been the ultimate Bond film
💯 agree. Desmond Llewellyn said he felt Dalton was the closest to Flemings book Bond.
charming, funny, and that smile 😍😍
My favorite Bond
He’s mine too. I think it’s a shame that he got less Bond films than Brosnan.
He has such an awesome voice!

I agree. I love the fact that he was not only James Bond but was also in Looney Tunes: Back in Action as well as Hot Fuzz.
Timothy Dalton has singlehandedly increased the vanilla perfume sales by the factor of 9000! And not only sales have risen... apparently.
Best James Bond.
The best?... C'mon now
@@jordyhitty stop his portrayal is more based on the Fleming novels. Do some research.
Connery
Dalton
Craig

Framed and Hawks yet
He is so educated and well spoken
Ah Timothy Dalton. I've heard he's a slasher.. of prices!
He runs the local supermarché
Catch him later!
If they did a version of Mad Men in England, Timothy would be a perfect candidate to star in it.
Whoa this is a great idea
T-Dal has always been my favorite since at 11 years old I saw The Living Daylights
