Of all the Bonds, Pierce always seems most like Bond when out of character.

This dude was born to play James Bond. Remington Steele made it obvious. Too bad it was at the end of the cheese-Bond era... but Goldeneye was an exception. Thomas Crown is still one of my favorite movie characters, all time. I'm like Colbert, I can't not watch it when I see it on streams or back when I still had cable.

The word Charming is used to describe gentleman like Pierce Brosnan. Many can be good looking and have a great bod, but not many can be as charming as Mr Pierce Brosnan.

His vowels are a little altered, from a theatre accent/RP for plays, but he's still rhotic and irish after all that. Just sounds like a posh irish accent in the end. It's not far off Aiden Gillan's accent

I have never been able to watch the films with Dalton and the films with Craig because in my heart in those films he should have had Mr Brosnan. We could have had him from 1986 to today. It would have been wonderful to see Bond's character mature and grow old with Brosnan. I've always felt ripped off as a fan.
