Dalton's portrayal of Bond was a serious take that was quite different from his predecessor, Moore, who was elegant and comical, and overturned the aristocratic image that Bond had worn before that. The biggest feature is probably the "density" of the face that jumps out at you first. It looks more suitable in costume play than in spy movies. In fact, Dalton was a former Shakespearean actor who had seen Macbeth as a boy and aspired to a career in acting, having studied at the Royal School of Dramatic Art. UIP, who distributed the Japan of Dalton's version of Bond "007: The Living Daylights" (87), may have been conscious of his rich face, and came up with a promotional copy that said, "Today's Bond is dangerously wild." --auto --s2
