<p>As of Saturday, Craig will have held the role of 007 for 5,119 days – almost exactly 14 years.</p>
<p>The British actor officially took on the mantle of the world’s most famous secret agent on October 14 2005.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Since then he has starred in four Bond films, the most recent of which, Spectre, was released in October 2015.</p>
<p>By contrast, Roger Moore clocked up seven Bond films during his 5,118-day stint.</p>
<p>Moore officially held the role from August 1 1972, when he was announced as the new 007, until August 6 1986, when Timothy Dalton was confirmed as Moore’s successor.</p>

<p>Daniel Craig’s time in the role will continue at least until April 2020, when the next Bond film, No Time To Die, is due to be released.</p>
<p>Craig’s predecessor as Bond, Pierce Brosnan, is third place in the rankings, while the original 007, Sean Connery, is fourth.</p>
<p>Timothy Dalton, who appeared in two films, is fifth.</p>
<p>George Lazenby, star of just one Bond film, is in last place.</p>
<p>The figures have been compiled by the PA news agency.</p>
<p>To ensure a fair comparison, the rankings are based on the period from the day each actor was confirmed as James Bond to the day their successor was formally announced.</p>
<p>Sean Connery’s appearance in 1983’s unofficial 007 film Never Say Never Again, has not been included in the calculations.</p>
<p>The James Bond franchise will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2022, having begun in 1962 with Dr No.</p>
