That's not what I'm saying though. Or implying. I'm saying bringing the photos as an argument in favour of one actor to play Bond is non sequitur. A lot of actors look good and look good in a tux. It's like bringing up the Clive Owen BMW advert: it's pretty pointless.
Funny that you bring up the BMW spots; the amount of talent behind the early ones done with Owen was insane. This was my favorite; the chase sequences put what was done for QoS to shame. I also think there was a window of time where Owen could have been an interesting Bond.
Personally I never saw Clive Owen as Bond, regardless of the BMW adverts. They look good, but that's it.
I think Owen plays better the British everyman than any larger than life hero. Like you I think he lacks presence.
He did not improve as an actor.
I've heard by all accounts that the Sam Spade movie was terrible.
