There is no single historical figure the character James Bond is based on. Many have speculated that Bond’s creator, Ian Fleming, likely drew inspiration from more than one secret agent he learned of from his experience working with British naval intelligence. Potential real-life inspirations for Bond included World War II secret agent F.F.E. Yeo-Thomas and Serbian double agent Dusko Popov.

Roger Moore starred as James Bond in the most films produced by the “official” Bond franchise, Eon Productions Limited: seven. Sean Connery followed closely behind, having played the role in six Eon-produced Bond films. (Two Bond films from the 20th century were not produced by Eon and thus are often excluded from consideration.)
