Its interesting that Richard Burton, James Mason and Cary Grant were actually offered the role,
I fail to see any of those three would have made a good Bond, Cary Grant would have lacked Connery's toughness, I just can't imagine Burton being as suave or Mason Having the fight on the train with Red Grant.
I also can't believe they considered Burt Reynolds, Clint Eastwood and even Adam West after DAF, if Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood could have done a convincing English accent then Maybe, but not West unless they wanted to make a comedy.
I think Oliver Reed would have been a good Choice after Connery and would have been better than Moore, and Clive Owen would have been a reasonable choice
