In the James Bond world, Timothy Dalton is best remembered as the fourth James Bond succeeding Roger Moore and bringing up about a darker tone to the series in an attempt to be more closer than the Ian Fleming novels the movies were based off of. Unfortunately, Dalton's approach was polarizing and legal problems over the series as well as other issues saw Dalton exit after only two films. Despite his brief run as 007, Dalton has had quite the journey leading up to Bond and an interesting aftermath with redemption.
