    Bond

    (Ian Flemming made the literary Bond a Scot after Sean Connery started playing him on film).
    Fleming reportedly based Bond on a Scot, Panache -- General Sir Fitzroy Maclean, who served as a liason to Tito's partisans in Yugoslavia, although there are several candidates, including Fleming himself, who was involved in clandestine ops in WWII:

    I like Roger Moore (though he was the Saint in Bond clothing) and Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton did a great job, but was not what the public expected.
