Some of Britain's most distinguished performers have played James Bond's superior, from David Niven to Dame Judi Dench.
While the James Bond franchise has more installments than nearly any other film saga, the series doesn't have a whole lot of recurring characters. One of the most important aspects of the 007 saga - at least before the Daniel Craig era turned to a more serialized approach - is how disconnected the films are from each other. It's possible to watch the films out of order and still enjoy them.
5 Edward Fox 1983's Never Say Never Again might be the weirdest film in the entire Bond franchise. The film was produced as a result of a disagreement over the character's rights, resulting in a second adaptation of the novel Thunderball. Sean Connery reprised his role for the first time since Diamonds Are Forever, bringing some additional dignity to an otherwise misguided effort.
3 Ralph Fiennes The brilliant Ralph Fiennes was first introduced as Gareth Mallory in 2012's Skyfall. Initially, Mallory isn't involved with MI6 and looks down upon the old-fashioned espionage agency. His opinion changes after seeing the sacrifices the previous M and Bond himself make for their country. This inspires Mallory to take a greater interest in MI6 and become the new M once Dench's character passes.
