James & Kumar Go to White Castle?
Henry Golding has a better shot if they decide to go Asian.
It was probably only a joke comment. But who wouldn't say yes if they got the chance!
Although, if they were to go for an Asian Bond, look no further than Ian Anthony Dale. The guy has style and class. Give him some five to ten years, he'll be a very genuine Tiger Tanaka.

EDIT @ClarkDevlin, I just looked him up. I don't think I've seen him in anything but I like his look - I can definitely see him as Tanaka down the road.
There's a bit of Rick Yune in him, and I mean that as a compliment.
"White Castle is too much…for one James Bond!" :))
Isn't he of part English descent, as well? He could be a great Tiger Tanaka, that's for sure!
But the average Joe and Jane don't care about height. We are analytical (that's a polite word for nerd!) Bond fans, we obsess about everything. Height, skin, hair colour, bulk, acting ability, age. The average shmoe doesn't bother. They see the trailers and think "new Bond film with Daniel Craig. I'll see that!"
Had every single Bond film-goer been ultra-critical about Craig's appearance - "isn't Bond supposed to very handsome? I don't see that in Craig!" - Casino Royale would have flopped. It didn't flop proving that people accepted Craig's casting and aren't too bothered about craggy looks or average height.
I reckon Craig is 5' 9" (something like that, give or take an inch). Average height for a man. Apparently spies shouldn't be too tall. Shorter men less obvious in a crowd. Craig might be the perfect height for a spy! All you six foot blokes would stand out. Yes, I think it's fair to say all the previous Bond actors were too tall and therefore completely miscast. :P
Yep. He's of English, French and Japanese ancestry. He'd be a great Tiger Tanaka alright!
If Dale was British I'd be all for it. He is Asian but I know of a few white people who have similar eyes and not an ounce of Asian blood. As of now he could easily play Steve Carella.
I'm somewhat warming up to the idea of Madden as potential Bond. Apparently he's quite a womaniser in real life.
Make it happen, EON! And if not Tanaka – then a different Tanaka-like character!
Looking at a few pictures on IMDb, he does look better suited for playing Bond than several of the names we are discussing here.
It's James Bond. It's not sexist, it's not offensive or anything else.
James Bond is a man. I'm more than happy to have Ms.Anderson play her own character, who may share similar traits as Bond. But a woman cannot be OO7.
She'd be a great fit for Craig Bond agewise given that we've already seen Monica Bellucci as a Bond girl.
Watching The Bodyguard this guy has the presence and charisma to pull it off. You can never really tell just looking at photos of random actors on this thread, you really need to see them in action.
Watching Madden, I can see him as a very credible Bond when the part comes up for grabs in 2-3 years.
My reaction to the tweet:
He's basically a charisma-less piece of wood in that film. He's terrific in the action and fight scenes. But every dialogue scene made me cringe. For instance that scene by the Eiffel Tower with Angela Basset? Woah, that was some loud "acting". He also gets a big scene with Sean Harris which is woeful. He reminds me a lot of Brosnan.
Cavill basically got all his acting tips from this video
