The Search for Bond

How the 007 Role Was Won and Lost

The first book to explore how the legendary role of James Bond was cast, featuring interviews with the men that almost played him

‘There are so many insights – even hardcore Bond fans will be surprised. Indispensable.’ – David Lowbridge-Ellis MBE

Only six men can lay claim to wearing the famous Savile Row tuxedo of James Bond; more people have stepped on the Moon. Yet, hundreds more came within an inch of winning the coveted 007 role – the pinnacle for so many actors.

The Search for Bond tells the extraordinary story of how cinema’s most famous secret agent was cast, featuring exclusive interviews with many of the actors who were at one time considered to play Bond, interviewed for the role, or went as far as to be screen tested. From Ranulph Fiennes to Colin Firth, their memories and stories give a fascinating insiders’ glimpse into the process of how the Bond producers, Broccoli and Saltzman, came up with the right man to play their famous spy.
