Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan - and currently Daniel Craig: They've all been playing the same character, yet each of these actors has added something unique to the world's favorite secret agent.

As soon as reports started spreading that "Spectre" could be Craig's last take in the successful franchise, speculation has gone wild over who would be the next one to hold the "license to kill."

Although he directly implied he didn't want to do another Bond movie ("I'd rather slash my wrists" he told "Time Out London"), in other interviews he stated he was still committed to seeing through his contract, which includes another movie.

It's still never too early to start dreaming about the next actor who'll order his martini "shaken, not stirred."
