'Casino Royale' was actually the first movie to feature the James Bond character, but the movie was a comedy, it wasn't a spy thriller like the movies we know today.

Spot on Mk2norwich. Dr No was the first film. Casino Royale was the first novel to be written in the series, the film (starring David Niven) was made in 1967.

Casino Royale was the first Bond novel written by Ian Flemming. It was also the first to be dramatized, being shown on TV by NBC in 1954. This production featured Barry Nelson and an American James Bond. The Casino Royale movie comedy with David Niven was made in 67 and is not an official Bond film. I concur with mk2norwich; Dr No was the first.

Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli started the official cinematic run of Bond in 1962, with Dr. No starring Sean Connery. The films made by their production company, EON Productions are regarded as the "official films" by all parties, although the three "unofficial" adaptations were "authorised" to be made.
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 neither of these films were produced by EON, they are not considered official.
