Is Facebook Dying? A Look Into the World's Leading Social Media Site The social media giant has made a lot of news within the last year - in a lot of cases, Facebook is the news. From Mark Zuckerberg's appearances in front of Congress to banning users due to their content, Facebook has been headlining the news since its inception into the app store. What should surprise you is Zuckerberg's ideas of heralding the Facebook company into a new direction.

With the inclusion of the radio actors, there have been a total of TWELVE James Bonds. Twelve men have had both the honor and the privilege to play the character, however, we will only be covering those who have shown up on screen as the spy.

Nelson played during an hour-long special of Casino Royale on CBS, Oct. 21, 1954, at 8:30 pm. While this may not be a FILM it still marks itself as the debut of the character, 007, on any screen. Sean Connery Mr. Connery has had what people thought would be a perpetual career as the character James Bond. The love for Connery is so strong, that some people accept him as the only "Bond" or the true James Bond. Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1...
