Bond on the Hollywood Blvd... yes or not

Bond on the Hollywood Blvd... yes or not 



Eon Production with "Cubby" Broccoli

From 1962 for 50 years the Eon Production, a film production company started by Albert "Cubby" Broccoli, produced 23 James Bond Movies with 6 different Actors, from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig, but we cannot forget George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan. Of those six actors, Pierce Brosnan and Roger Moore are the only actors to have received stars on the Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard. Sir Sean Connery does not have his own star, but... WE ARE WAITING!!!

Moore's star sits in front of 7007 Hollywood Blvd, and Pierce Brosnan's is in 7083 Hollywood Blvd.

 Mr. Berry Nelson, not only was the first actor playing Agent 007 in a movie in Casino Royale, he is also one of the two non-English actors playing the role of James Bond. He has his star for Television achievement at 6259 Hollywood Blvd.

Outsiders

Christopher Cazenove played James Bond in Omnibus: The British Hero, a documentary and literary review style show on the BBC. He acted out several scenes from Ian Fleming's novels, Goldfinger, where James Bond is nearly killed with a chainsaw (as opposed to the laser in the film Goldfinger). (Source: 007james.com)
