    No it isn't. I want him as Bond, simple as that.

    Do we have another troll in our midst? Simply insane.

    You seem to be basing it entirely on the fact that he's Brozzas son rather than his CV.

    What basis is that to select an actor for one of the biggest roles in cinema? Are you seriously saying there are no better actors in the world or is having the same DNA as Brozza the key requirement when selecting a new Bond now?

    To say he should be on the shortlist for when Craig retires is pretty out there but to allege he's 'now the best choice' is almost scary.

    What's Jason Connery doing these days by the way?

    Sorry if you understood it like that, but wasn't what I meant to be. And I'm not saying that Michael Fassbender, as an example, isn't a bad choice. What I'm actually trying to say is, as Brosnan made a great job with his Bond, maybe his son can bring back the legacy of his era, but with HIS acting. It would be nice to see that.

    I've always thought that Terence Stamp would've made a terrific Bond on the 70's.

    I've found one fan poster with Stamp as Bond:

    Like it. Kneel before Bond!

    So what that Pierce wants to see his son Bond, I'm sure my father would love to see me win a Nobel prize. It doesn't mean it won't happen, but it doesn't make it more probable, does it?

    Well, I think you deserve one too, if that means something. ;;)

    Thanks Brady, but I have to make a groundbreaking discovery before I deserve one. You don't even know what my work is about for heaven's sake!

    Remember in the 90s, when there was a rumour going around that Sony were going to make a rival Bond series and that Jason Connery was going to play Bond?

    Lots of strange Bond rumours have been thrown around (Rachel Weisz as head of Quantum is another good one), but this has to be my favourite.

    Yeah I remember Connery's son and even Moore's son Geoffrey being mentioned. Not sure how it would have turned out if that happened.... I mean, isn't Geoffrey a chef?? :D


    ...... does Tim have an actor son? ;)


    *edit- actually, Roger's son doesn't look bad at all! Still doesn't mean he's an actor though

    OK, wasn't Roger Moore's son sort of mentioned at one point? What was his name?
    Not only Sean's son ...

    Tim's son ... I don't know if he's an actor. But Peter O'Toole (not a former Bond, I know) has a son who is an actor now (Lorcan O'Toole).

    Sometimes it isn't the classification of the job, but the determination of the occupant that wins the day.

    I think that Daltons son is still a kid.

    Wasn't Daltons ex (the kids mum) with Mel Gibson for a bit? Imagine how cool that'd be, James Bond is your dad and Mad Max your step dad.

    I think Dalton's son is about 16 (info via wikipedia). Hope he is doing well and that he and Timothy are close (no idea; I just hope so).

    Dalton's ex is the lovely former Russian singer/musician who was more recently with Mel Gibson, yes.
    She and Mel had a terrible split. They have a young child together. I think Gibson was convicted (or pleaded no contest) for harrassing her, threatening her, something like that. My respect for Mel continues to slide.

    Though I do love Mad Max and the first Lethal Weapon.

    We can't have Sean Brosnan as Bond.
    Why?
    Hi name.
    When us fans refer to Sean or Brosnan now, we know who is being spoken about!
    If Sean Brosnan lands the coveted role, we'd have to start referring to Sean C and Sean B, and P Brosnan and S Brosnan!
    Too tricky! :)

    Brad Pitt isn't even British. Christian Bale could git but I don't think he could play Bond because he's already Batman and I heard he wouldn't take the role of Bond even if he isn't Batman. Don't get me wrong, he fits Bond really well, but he would turn down the role if he was given that offer.

    Bond fighting a Jaws/Oddjob type henchman.



    Some of it is too flashy and martial artsy for Bond though.

    Agreed. I love some of his work, especially Mad Max, but in real life the guy is clearly mental.

    By physique and charisma Henry "Superman" Cavil has an edge over any other actor aspiring to become BOND in the near future. It is time Craig quit and Cavil enters if we really want to save the escapist entertainment tempo of James Bond!

    Really? Sorry, but there ain't no near future at this point. Plus Cavill will be seen as Superman now.

    I would have been a tad more scathing GL but we agree again.

    And again. This really is becoming a habit. If I carry on like this I'll have to get a massive DC tattoo (Jed Maxwell rules!!) across my chest like you presumably have and camp outside his house with you.

    Yup, strange times. But I feel, we will be back to old form at some point. >:) Until then, I enjoy some agreement. But no, no tattoo for this lady. DC has enough for both of us. ;)

    Moore's son does look like Bond, but nothing like Moore's Bond on that pic.

    "Kneel before Bond!"

    Read this article today on IGN: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/10/terence-stamp-talks-aborted-plans-for-james-bond

    I certainly didn't know this and I know some people had mentioned on this thread how he could have been Bond back in 70s.

    Terence Stamp is a fine actor, I think he would have been great.

    When would he have started his era? DAF? LALD? Later than that?

    Since Connery has defined the characterization of Bond and there is no escape from comparing with his portrayal whenever Bond changes his skins, a Bond actor should be 6'2" by height and the tuxedo should fit him like Connery or Moore. Bond should be quick in his movements and judgements. Handling girls and gadgets besides his guns should be stylish and believable. No sentiments please! Sentiment mixing makes Bond character a laughing stock.

    I do wish Stamp had been in OHMSS. He is a fine actor and has the looks, too.

    I guess that by the 19th page of this discussion, he must have already surfaced, but what would you think of Damian Lewis
    tumblr_m737oaYjmF1qik3uko1_500.png
    Despite his great role in Homeland and Life, the guy is British.
    I'll begin with the minuses : His hair color (Craig was blond, but red is a bit extreme for 007) and he's just slightly younger than Craig (but Moore was older than Connery when he took the part).

    But apart from that, he's an amazing actor, he's got charisma, humour, he's solid, sexy enough.
    I would definitely like to see him as Bond. Maybe not for many years, but for the transition after Craig for 1 or 2 films with a great story. I am sure he would be great.

    Well, with 4 year gaps allegedly becoming the norm we might as well be looking at 6th form drama students *rolls eyes* but seriously, I think it'll be judicious for the next actor cast to start in his mid 30s at least with the way things are going.
