For a long time the premise was that he was the same person in spite of the actor change. However i think they effectively pressed the reset button with Casino Royal.

However if James Bond is just psuedanym (sp?) for the agent whose code name is 007 then the colour of the skin matters not..

I think also that may be the regional accent he is doing - so much American TV is Californian. Can't remember, but isn't it set in the mid-west or the south or somewhere a bit 'yokel'?

I'm not saying people won't have seen them but if you ask most of the current cinema going generation who their preferred Bond is you are unlikely to hear them say Roger Moore. It's like everyone has 'their' Dr Who.
