Alternate Actors To Play James Bond

I remember reading once in a review for the movie Taken, that Liam Neeson was considerd for the role of James Bond int the 90's, but of course the part eventually Pierce Brosnan.

So that got me thinking, what other actors could have played the role of James Bond over the years?
How would the film series have developed differently under them?
Who could be playing Bond now?
 
Sean Bean naturally.

The late great Patrick McGoohan was considered for Bond in Dr. No but he had some issues with the morality of the role. Ian Fleming's choice for 007 was David Niven.
 
Sean Bean " shot his bolt" or "had his six" in Golden Eye as Alec Trevelyan. Can they bring back a bad guy as Bond? He was a good bad guy.

How about Mr. Bean?
 
I thought Clive Owen would have made an impressive Bond, especially the way they've been writing him in the last two films with the darker tone and grittier edge.

Synopsis:

Forced undercover by a lack of funds for operations in Quebec raiding grow-ops maintained by hardcore separatists of a Federated British Empire, James Bond finds himself in Montreal with Q(Kevin Smith) in order to try and recover the millions of dollars that were stolen from the bank in order to pay for the grow-ops by a military-trained group of separatists identified as a a group of former JTF2 members.

British Intelligence with the Americans have identified the account-holder and it seems he was a playboy in New York. However a certain someone won't spring the funds to go to New York so they've got to sell all the dope from the separatist raid to get money to get to New York to ask this guy some questions. Q can pilot anything so soon enough they've bought a helicopter all the way, getting clearance from NYPD to land on the roof with a SWAT team in the stairwell to the Penthouse of the most expensive hotel on North America. However on the way an ambush by snipers with Anti-material rifles waiting on the ledges and behind the windows of the buildings around the hotel. The NYPD chopper that most called "Ghettobird" smashed to the ground, and the flight plans of Bond chopper hadn't been known yet so they and safely.

Busting in through the window on the winch-line of the hovering helicopter Jason Mewes as James Bond catches Jim Carrey, masterminding as a crazy former French Foreign Legion Officer who was funding the separatists in Quebec with a massive drug ring that had echoes all around the world.

"Me? Rob a Bank? Never!"

However as he talks Q comes down and asks him who paid him to do this, knowing that this crazy officer couldn't have actually had connections, the French had been keeping an eye on him already. They had volunteered the information in order to get him extradited for desertion. He won't have it and starts towards the window James had broken on his way in. James fires one round into his leg before he gets there. Before Q can say how damn awkward it's going to be to hand the French a man shot in the leg as a prisoner the body rises and the light patterns under it shift.

"Stealth suit!" cries Q/Kevin Smith, leading James Bond/Jason Mewes to fire another round into the body of Officer Playboy/Jim Carrey, going through his body and creating an autoshutdown procedure that renders the suit useless. As the would-be deadbodynapper falls to the ground the form revealed by the invisibility suit James Bond grabs the legs of the thief, sending the playboy flying out of the hotel's broken window and down into the street.

It was a long way down.

"My Lord" comments Kevin Bacon, realizing they don't have a man-shot-in-the-leg to turn over to the French anymore.

"Yes she is quite pretty" says James, having ripped the stealth suit off of the person, who had been knocked out as they fell with the playboy flying out the window off of their shoulders. He lit a cigarette and broke the silence as Q stared at him for a few seconds. "Where did the Frenchman go?".

"Out the window James" says Q.

"Merde" says James. But he has an idea about who did this. However he's getting a new accountant.

He would've been a good Bond. The International was a cool film.

James Mason and Cary Grant were considered.

If Orson Welles had had his way and been able to complete Casino Royale in '56, Dirk Bogarde would have been Bond.
