Timothy Dalton (born March 21, 1946) is a Welsh-born British actor who gained international prominence for playing James Bond in The Living Daylights (1987) and Licence to Kill (1989). Born Timothy Leonard Dalton-Leggett in Colwyn Bay, Wales, he trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and established himself in theatre before transitioning to film and television. His Bond portrayal represented a deliberate departure from his predecessor's style, emphasizing a harder edge and greater emotional depth. Beyond Bond, Dalton has enjoyed a distinguished career spanning decades, appearing in period dramas, science fiction, and television series including Penny Dreadful and The Rocketeer. He received critical acclaim for his Shakespearean work and has maintained steady employment in prestigious productions. Dalton's interpretation of Bond has gained appreciation over time, with film critics noting his commitment to a more authentic, conflicted version of the character that presaged modern spy cinema.

Thinking about the name
Thimothy
Greek origin
“A non-standard spelling of Timothy, derived from the Greek Timotheos, meaning 'one who honors God.' This variant spelling maintains the classical biblical resonance of Timothy while offering slight distinctiveness. It carries the same virtuous and scholarly associations as its traditional counterpart.”
