Craig was only the second Englishman to play the part after Roger Moore, who replaced the original Bond, Scotsman Sean Connery. In between those two had been a one-off appearance by the Australian George Lazenby. Following Moore’s run, came a Welshman (Timothy Dalton) and an Irishman (Pierce Brosnan).
Lazenby was the youngest Bond being only 30 when he took on the iconic role. Connery was 32 while Craig was 38. The others were all in their forties the first time they donned their dinner jackets: Dalton was 41; Brosnan was 42; and Moore was 46. To date, Craig is the only actor to play Bond who measures less than 6 feet tall – he is 5’10”. Of the others, Brosnan and Moore are both 6’1″ while Connery, Dalton and Lazenby are each 6′ 2″.
