    In that latter one, he gives of that wolfish vibe.

    My God..that is 4 members in a row that like the look of this actor.....wow.,,and definitely Dalton ....I like him.

    I haven't seen him act, but he's got a good look for the role.

    Very interesting face. At 40 he might be a bit old to start playing Bond. Love the GoT background, always a good point for me (because I do think the show has great roles and really delivers on acting talent).

    Hardy won't get it. Only in a galaxy far far far away where James Bond is the third Kray brother. ;)

    If I were EON, and Craig was leaving, I would first try as hard as we could to get Fassbender. If he wouldn t fassbend to our wishes, I would probably call Hardy. The idea has grown on us. I think he could do it.

    Fassbender yes. Hardy no....purely based on height!

    One reservation: he's maybe a bit old, given the delays between movies.

    I took a quick look at some episodes of Ransom on youtube to assess this chap Roberts that everyone's on about. I'm sorry, he's not up to the job imho. I'd prefer Turner, but they both lack that ability to own the screen which is essential for a successful Bond actor.

    "Would you like to play James Bond, mister?"

    "Damn! Yes! Can I borrow the screen?"

    I've seen the first two episodes of Ransom and I'm finding it formulaic and dull. Roberts does the best he can with the weak material. If anyone wants to assess his Bond potential on YouTube I suggest they concentrate on videos dedicated to Woodes Rogers, his character in Black Sails.

    Having watched the trailer for Ransom, I'd certainly put Luke Roberts on the give him a screen test list. Can't say I've ever heard of him, but he's one of the best suggestions I've seen on these pages for a while.

    Bond_Bombshell is right, he's way more Bondian in the Black Sails clips

    I gotta see more, but I am interested. He's head n tails above Turner and Hiddles (apologies to those supporters), but; this guy still hasn't convinced me he can make a lady drop her drawers for him though-- his kissing scenes were quite passionless and lacked in sexy seduction (could have been the context of the scenes).

    Take DC with Mme Sciarra-- he full on seduced her. It was hot and sexy (in a film that was not). Connery and Fiona. DC and Vesper. Connery and Taro, or DC and Solange... or Fields... these two actors had/have sheer sexual magnetism...

    If this guy gets that, I'd be very interested...

    At 40 he might be too old (depending when the next Bond movie will be released and what will be the gap between movies). Not quite convinced yet but otherwise I think he has the suitable physique and face. He does not look like an overgrown teen.

    @Ludovico , an overgrown teen aptly describes too many of the so-called candidates... No matter who is the next Bond, I truly believe Babs will hire a man's man (which rules out Hiddles and Turner-- there's nothing strikingly masculine about these fellows...)

    I still think that if Nolan comes on board,Hardy will come with him.

    I have to say that Ransom trailer does not particularly impress me.
