He was offered the role twice, first in 1986 for ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'', which he had to turn down due to contractual obligations with ''Remington Steele'''s producers. He finally got to play Bond in ''Film/{{GoldenEye}}'', to great acclaim even before the film was released, and three films (''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'', ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'' and ''Film/DieAnotherDay'') would follow. His first wife Cassandra Harris played Countess Lisl van Schlaf in ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'', saying even then that he'd be perfect as Bond. Sadly, she didn't live to see it happen, passing away in 1991. Brosnan was then let go of the franchise in 2005 as the [[Creator/BarbaraBroccoli producers]] felt a [[Film/CasinoRoyale2006 fresh start]] was needed.
