James Bond (born 1930) is a Senior Operational Officer of the 'Double-O' ('00') Branch, an ultra-covert Black Ops unit within the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). As an agent of MI6, Bond holds code number 007.

The late Sean Connery was the first actor to perform the role on the big screen. He appeared in Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967) and Diamonds Are Forever (1971). In 1983 he returned to the role for the last time in as an alternative version of the character in the unofficial James Bond film, Never Say Never Again. In addition, he also provided his voice and likeness for 2005's video game adaptation of From Russia with Love.

He also played Henry Jones Sr. in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Robin Hood in Robin and Marian and Allan Quatermain in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Biography[]

Early life[]

In the novels, James Bond is the son of a Scottish father, Andrew Bond of Glencoe, and a Swiss mother, Monique Delacroix, from the Canton de Vaud. He acquired a first-class command of the French and German languages during his early education, which he received entirely abroad. Both parents were tragically killed during a climbing accident in the French Alps when he was eleven.

After the death of his parents, Bond goes to live with his aunt, Miss Charmian Bond, where he completes his early education. Later, he briefly attends Eton College at "12 or thereabouts", but is removed after two halves because of girl trouble with a maid. After being sent down from Eton, Bond was sent to Fettes College in Scotland, his father's school.

After leaving Fettes, earlier EON films note that Bond studied at Cambridge University. There, he achieved a first in East Asian languages. In Fleming's novels, Bond alluded to briefly attending the University of Geneva (as did Fleming), before being taught to ski in Kitzbühel. Following his graduation, Bond joined the Ministry of Defence and became a lieutenant in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserves, rising though the ranks to commander. Bond applied to M for a position within the "Secret Service", part of the Civil Service, and rose to the rank of principal officer.

Personality[]

Connery's Bond isn't exactly a pleasant chap, but he can be incredibly charming and is still a good guy. Likewise, he claims to know about serving alcohol when the opposite is true; he thinks that 38 degrees Fahrenheit is a good temperature to serve champagne (38 degrees is practically freezing point - it's better served around 55 degrees), and that sake is correctly served at just under 100 degrees Fahrenheit (when it is served at either 50 degrees room temperature, or 120 degrees hot). In his first scene, he tips both the dealer and the doorman at Le Cercle with one of his wads of cash winnings, a hint that he doesn't really care about the money, simply the thrill of play.

Trivia[]

  • Richard Burton, Cary Grant and Patrick McGoohan were all considered for the role in Dr. No before Sean Connery was cast.
  • Connery's Bond was the first one to be seen wounded by a gunshot, as it was seen in Thunderball, where a SPECTRE assassin attempts to kill Bond, who is escaping their custody, but only hits his right leg, making 007 briefly limped.
  • There is a theory that Bond is John from The Rock; after Diamonds Are Forever, Bond is captured while working on the Canberra, which docked in San Francisco in 1971, one year before John was captured and imprisoned in Alcatraz.
