Timothy Dalton Facts
According to the James Bond film tailors in London, at 6' 2" he is the tallest of all the Bond actors. The tailors who have fitted and measured each of the 5 Bonds over the years claim the following heights for each of the other Bond actors: Sean Connery 6' 1 1/2" without shoes, George Lazenby 6' 1 1/2" without shoes, Roger Moore 6' 1" without shoes and Pierce Brosnan 6' 1" without shoes.

In mid 1986, he and Sylvester McCoy were performing together with Vanessa Redgrave in a season of Shakespeare at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket. Dalton and McCoy sympathised with each other about the difficulty in finding good long-term acting jobs. A year later, McCoy was cast as the Seventh Doctor in "Doctor Who" (1963) and Dalton was cast as James Bond in The Living Daylights (1987).

Initially agreed to play James Bond for a third time in GoldenEye (1995), but after a lengthy series of lawsuits between the studio and producers concerning the ownership of the James Bond character, and further script delays, he resigned from the role, believing that too much time had passed since Licence to Kill (1989).
