Are the actors who played James Bond jinxed career wise?
Except for Sean Connery, it doesn't seem that the actors who followed him had much of a career after that role. Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan haven't been in any major movies since they took over as 007.

1. Sean was my favorite...
And he knew when to quit. I never really cared for the others myself.

2. Hell, they can live on the royalties from cable alone, can't they? They
play all the Bond movies practically every weekend.
