It's funny how he spends so much time in the closet yet he does not know how to dress.

I'd say Dalton is fourth best personally.

He s good but too serious

He was very good. Just did too few films. Probably my third favourite after Craig & Connery.

I take it you people didn't watch the video lol...

Copy and past the link however, as clicking on it comes up with some sort of block

I like Dalton’s Bond now. I never used to. At the time, I thought he looked too physically slight—like a young Peter O’Toole—and his accent seemed a bit peculiar. He looks a lot like Hoagy Carmichael—which Fleming would have liked.

Sterling Archer

He was the most accurate book version of Bond. I remember watching an interview with him in which he stated he read all the Fleming books for the role.

Would've been nice to see him in more movies.

I find it remarkable that everyone puts that well known fact up.

I am pretty sure that Connery, Moore, Brosnan and Craig where reading IF as well - maybe not all of them, but why is that always stressed out by Dalton's fans?

Simply because he was the only one who read them all and re-read them for inspiration and it certainly shows on the screen in his performance. Connery said he only read three of the novels, Moore read a passage in Goldfinger and not much else it seems. Brosnan read a bit too. I assume Craig has read them all, at least the once.

I think he also kept them on set, and would constantly dip in to them for inspiration. -{

Yes, indeed. Lazenby did the same with OHMSS and, yet again, it shows in the performance and final film.
