When talk turns to whom the best James Bond is, there's one name that is frequently missed: David Niven. Niven plays the iconic character in 1967's Casino Royale, a non-canon entry that exists as a parody, released the same year as You Only Live Twice. But three years before Niven took on the 007 mantle, he appeared on The Rogues, a fun crime television series on NBC that won the Golden Globe for Best Television Series in 1964, but was cancelled after its first and only season.
