[Bosun]

Can't believe nobody has mentioned James Bond

Awesome character and I was going to put him in but for me theres some conflict. I loved Sean Connery and Roger Moore (who really camped it up) I also enjoyed Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye however he was shit in his last two, Die another day or whatever, just crap.

I also enjoyed Daniel Craig's Bond. I guess because quite a few actors have had a crack at playing him with different results makes it harder.

But as a pure character say from the novels then yes he's fantastic.
