Trivia: Which James Bond actor is NOT part of the Order of the British Empire?
Daniel Craig
Pierce Brosnan
Barry Nelson
Sean Connery
The correct answer is Barry Nelson
So why is this answer correct? : Queen Elizabeth II was a big James Bond fan — and bestowed royal honors upon a few of the actors who have played 007. In 2022, Daniel Craig, the most recent James Bond, was awarded a Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George (CMG), which, coincidentally, is the same honor that the character holds. British actors Sean Connery and Roger Moore were knighted in 2000 and 2003, respectively. A fourth Bond, Irish actor Pierce Brosnan, was also granted an honorary knighthood (CBE) in 2003.
