To date, six actors have portrayed James Bond in the official series. They are:
Sean Connery (1962–1967; 1971)
George Lazenby (1969)
Roger Moore (1973–1985)
Timothy Dalton (1987–1989)
Pierce Brosnan (1995–2002)
Daniel Craig (2006–present)
In addition, Barry Nelson portrayed Bond in an Americanised television episode adaptation of Casino Royale in 1954. Bob Holness portrayed James Bond in a 1956 South African radio adaptation of Moonraker. David Niven played the role in a non-EON production of Casino Royale in 1967, and Connery reprised the character in another non-EON film, Never Say Never Again in 1983. Since none of these films was produced by EON, they are not considered official.
So Barry Nelson was the first person to play Bond!
Sean Connery in the official series!

Just to confirm. The first James Bond was David Niven in 'Casino Royale'. It was realised that after this film, which was a spy-comedy, people would rather see James Bond as a serious government spy. So then Sean Connery was brought in for Dr. No. which lacked the slapstick comedy of Casino Royale.

Ian Fleming first modelled the character after Merlin Minshall. So in a way he was the first James Bond
But Sean Connery is the first "real" James Bond to everybody and to me still the only one.

The first James Bond was a fictional character in a book and cannot be attributed to an actor, therfore I imagine the very first James Bond was Alex Flemming.

David Niven in what was more of a spoof type movie than the Bond we've come to love .... Casino Royale (yes same as the next Bond with Mr Craig) was the name.
