Live Poll: Close But No Cigar: The Men Who Weren't Bond

Hi Pencho......

For the correct English it should be "on" instead of "in". Also other needs to be in the plural. "Others"

Six actors have played the famous James Bond on the big screen, but besides them, several others were considered for the role, and many came close to nailing it.

And my first choice is Sean Bean, then Jason Isaacs!!!!!!!

I thought of a fun title:

Close, but No Cigar

You know, because he smokes cigars. :)
