British actor born in 1944, Timothy Dalton has done Shakespeare for the Royal Shakespeare Company, played a supermarket manager in ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'', Prince Barin in ''[[Flash Gordon (Filmfilm)|Flash Gordon]]'', Neville Sinclair in ''[[The Rocketeer (Filmfilm)|The Rocketeer]]'', Heathcliff in a 1970 adaptation of ''[[Wuthering Heights (Literaturenovel)|Wuthering Heights]]'' and was also in a 1983 adaptation of ''[[Jane Eyre]]''. Most recently he voiced Mr. Pricklepants the toy hedgehog in ''[[Toy Story 3]]'' and played a deliciously nutty villain in ''[[Chuck]]''.
 
OK, we've got to mention it eventually. He played [[James Bond (Filmfilm)|James Bond]] in ''[[The Living Daylights (Film)|The Living Daylights]]'' and ''[[Licence to Kill (Film)|Licence to Kill]]''. His serious, based on the books portrayal of the character divides Bond fans to this day- some love him, some hate him. What cannot be denied is that until [[Daniel Craig]] showed up he certainly was the most serious.
 
He appears in the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' story "The End Of Time" as The Narrator ( {{spoiler|read: [[Evil Overlord|Rassilon]]}}). [[David Tennant]] and he "sang" each other's theme tunes on set.

Line 11:
 
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Spoken of very admirably on ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'''s commentary track -- particularly the part about how even at his age, Dalton can enter any pub and still [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!|turn the heads of every woman inside]].
* [[Badass Moustache]]: Sports fantastic mustaches in ''Hot Fuzz'', ''[[Flash Gordon (Filmfilm)|Flash Gordon]]'' and ''[[The Rocketeer (Filmfilm)|The Rocketeer]]''.
* [[Classically-Trained Extra]]: Averted. He admits that he does big films like ''Hot Fuzz'' because he enjoys them.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: The Daltonator
Line 17:
* [[Shakespearian Actors]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Was all set to reprise Bond in Ian Fleming's ''The Property of a Lady'' (which was scrapped in favour of what was to become ''[[GoldeneyeGoldenEye (Filmfilm)|GoldeneyeGoldenEye]]'')... then came the lawsuit, which ground the franchise to a halt for five years.
