    Charles Dance circa mid 80's.

    Sean Bean.

    I'm torn between Sean Bean and Michael Billington.

    I'd say Billington.

    Billington wasn t a villain, unless you count all Russians as villains.

    But, he was after Bond's head and actually threatened his life. So, that does make him a Bond villain in a manner.

    So maybe Bond was the villain? OK, I will allow it.

    Depends on which side of the history you are. ;)

    Christopher Walken as Bond would be interesting.

    Sounds perfect to me.

    I was thinking of him too. Conventional? No, but certainly interesting as you said.

    Contenders so far for the role of Bond:

    Charles Dance 2
    Sean Bean
    Robert Shaw 2
    Michael Billington
    Christopher Walken 2
    Joseph Wiseman

    And my own candidate: Christopher Lee

    yep, was thinking of him too. I think he'd make a very Flemingesque Bond. But then he knew his cousin of course.

    Michael Billington here too. Looks somewhat like George.

    More refined, in my opinion.

    All right. Next question:

    Which Bond villain actor would you rather see as Lex Luthor?
  • ClarkDevlinClarkDevlin Martinis, Girls and Guns

    Telly Savalas.

    That goes without saying imo.

    Finally individuals from alternate dimensions agree. ;)

    Can't see past Savalas.

    There's something about him that screams Luthor. Can't quite put my finger on it though ;-)

    Yes, I wonder what that might be.

    For me, Savalas reminds me of the Luthor that appears in the Superman: The Animated Series episodes.

    This would definitely be good. I'd say Sean Bean, too.

    He should! The creators of S:TAS modeled their Luthor after Telly's Blofeld!

    And on that note: I too vote Telly for LL.

    What about Donald Pleasence?

    Pleasance would be Lex Luthor Jr six decades after the original Luthor would be in his prime, constantly trying to live up to his father's image (Savalas) yet remaining in his shadow, for which he's a laughing stock trying to be menacing but comes off as an overgrown overprivileged kid. :))

    Five votes for Savalas as Luthor so far. One for Pleasence.

    Dominic Greene, eh, I mean Matthieu Almaric

    Yaphet Koto would be a good choice in my opinion. Course bound to create controversy as I don't think Luthor has ever been African American.
