Well obviously Curt Jurgens, Telly Savalas are out… as is Richard Kiel, but I thought Julian Glover would have made a great Bond.As would have Sean Bean (if he could be overdubbed) and Toby Stephans. And not a villlian biut so would Ralph Finnes.
Robert Shaw as Red Grant is Daniel Craig as James Bond.
Alan Cumming.
Just kidding. Can you imagine, though?
Louis Jordan (Kamal Khan in Octopussy) is the French James Bond
Christopher Lee (Scaramanga in the incredibly bad The Man With the Golden Gun) could’ve been a good Bond.
And, heck, they both played excellent Draculas, in two of the best adaptations of Bram Stoker’s book (Jordan in the BBC version, Lee in Jess Franco’s 1970 version (at least the first half was great))
Christopher Lee?
I have a few nominees from the Pierce Brosnan era:
Robert Carlyle (a villain in The World Is Not Enough) MIGHT be able to pull it off.
And Sean Bean (who played evil rogue agent Alex Trevelyan in Goldeneye) definitely could, too.
I’m not sure about good, but Christopher Walken as Bond would have been memorable.
Grace Jones would have been even more memorable, but maybe not in a good way.
Given that he was in SOE during WW2, he possibly was James Bond in real life.
I was about to post that, besides, he was friends and collegues with Fleming.
Yes, especially as she plays a bond girl in Moonraker… a 5 minute masturbation scene probably wouldn’t get past the censors.
"The name is Bond . . .
[long pause]
[long enough pause to make a sandwich]
. . . James Bond."
In Mad magazine’s satire of Moonraker, one character suggests hiring Jaws instead of Bond, since he was basically indestructible and could do what Bond did without all the expensive gadgets.
Robert Shaw, obviously, though he was more of a henchman than a villain. If one can wrap their mind around a blond Bond. 
I could possibly see Charles Gray (YOLT) as an older Bond though he would probably make a better M.
Christopher Lee (MWTGG) is a fantastic actor and could have played Bond. Not a particularly good entry in the series but he played Scaramanga with ruthlessness and charm that could easily translate to 007.
Sean Bean (GE) goes without saying as he was already playing an MI6 agent.
Watching Hannibal, I think the actor, who played Le Cheiff, might have made a good Bond.
Christopher Walken did a good job as Jamie Shannon in the film version of Frederick Forsyth’s The Dogs of War, playing a tough mercenary. He’s not my ideal choice for the role, but he was convincing, and didn’t have the idiosyncrasies people atrribute to him.
Look, pal, I’ve got a franchise to think about, here; you can’t go killing off Bond before the end of the movie.
Javier Bardem could’ve pulled it off easily.
“Shaken, not stirred…friendo.”

The name is Bond. James [long enough pause to make a sandwich] Bond.
With the Woody Allen thread now going on, I can’t help but picture Sean Connery’s 007 explaining that “sometimes when I’m driving … on the road at night … I see two headlights coming toward me. Fast. I have this sudden impulse to turn the wheel quickly, head-on, into the oncoming car. I can anticipate the explosion. The sound of shattering glass. The … flames rising out of the flowing gasoline.”
