I'm confused, @ByRoyalDecree. You presented this man as a potential Bond, but now you seem to be dismissing him, unless a skinny Jordan Peele is your idea of Bond.
Why couldn’t a skinny Jordan Peele be Bond?
Sure. Why not? I'll happily give the man a chance. :-)
Because he's a 43 almost 44 year old American.
James Bond should be played by someone of British or of a Commonwealth, English speaking country.
I’d like to revisit the thread where Craig was announced, and the build up to it. Would that still be on here somewhere?

There may be some truth to this.
That would have been on the original forum, Keeping The British End Up, which regenerated into MI6 Community in 2011. You might be able to find it using the way back machine.
EDIT
2011, NOT 2012.
It was rough but okay. In my memory, members behaved rather well back then. The idiots who set up that retarded CraigNotBond website were generally disliked and made unwelcome here. ;-)
It still wasn't in vogue to demand that "Babs" be fired for some reason, to call things one disagreed with "woke", to write letters to EON saying that fans should get involved in the creative process, and to keep posting pictures of Aidan Turner for some reason. Yes, those were better days.
You mean this guy?
That's cool.....
Pierce Brosnan was the frontrunner 1990 - 1994 and arguably the frontrunner around 1984 (accepting the fact Timothy Dalton had been offered the part in For Your Eyes Only). Pierce Brosnan had the advantage of being moderately well known but not making high profile US films. His highest profile film was The Lawnmower Man? Probably.
It's reasonable to assume Cary Grant was the frontrunner to play Bond in 1961. Apparently he didn't want to commit to many films and his age at that time wasn't ideal for the character of Bond. Roger Moore would have been very high on the list and second choice perhaps had he not been contracted to the Saint tv series. It's no surprise Moore did get the part as he was the logical frontrunner after DAF was released and The Persuaders tv show was not renewed for a second series.
Kinnear may know Johnson isn't going to be Bond or maybe he's the backup choice. He may have an insider source at Pinewood or wherever telling him Johnson is liked by Eon but not guaranteed to have the role.
I remember AJB was full of people posting stupid monkey pictures; I think CBN (is that still going?) was a bit better, I don't really remember the reaction there now.
I'm going to be honest and I'm not looking to all of them (some or few of them there were good), but yes, those people in the AJB tend to complain and criticize all things Bond, the majority of them were focusing on the accesories, luxuries of Bond (think of The Bond Experience channel with that Zaritsky guy, they're pretty much that way), and it's hard to understand them really with regards to their thoughts.
Yes CBN is much better, it's still going until now, haven't checked Bond and Beyond yet.
B&B is our favourite sister forum. It was founded by people who didn't like the look of this forum. And the fact that sexual content and swearing are not appreciated here. Then it was swiftly populated by pretty much everyone we banned here for trolling and spamming. Amusing lot.
My point exactly. ;-)
Looks good.
There's a lot of them now: Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, Adrian Turner, etc. Now the question is: who will be THE Clive Owen?
The guy who posts pics of himself every other page, surely
Aidan Turner?
Craig = Bond
Cavill = Almost Bond
Craig = the perfect KGB henchman
Cavill = made of wood
Five films and billions of dollars later suggest not.
This is exactly how I wanted Craig's Bond to look like. Longer hair and the comma. His inner Dalton shows more with longer hair.
