Many talented young British actors. ;)
As soon as Disney has taken over the Bond franchise, JJ Abrams will direct Zac Efron as the next Bond actor. <:-P
Tom Hiddleston
Or
Tom hardy
Thankfully, the Bonds are a family business and just because both Batman and Superman have been played recently by actors from the UK, there's no fear that Barbara and Michael will cast Brandon Routh as Bond in spite. If the Bonds were run by other owners, I wouldn't be surprised if Robert Downey Jr or Val Kilmer or Brad Pitt were cast.
....or even better a Texan
Likewise same argument for Indy.
How about a guy from Indiana?
:-?
Clooney is one of the few modern actors that has an old-school Hollywood presence.
Highly recommended. Armin Meuller Stahl has a small role, there's a vicious car chase with the hero driving a top of the line S-Class Benz with the bad guys in older BMWs (which is a direct contrast to that year's TND, where Bond is in a newer top of the line 7-Series Bimmer and the baddies drive older Benzes), and Nicole Kidman is excellent in her role as a CIA analyst.
If im not mistaken he ( Brad) is almost the same age as Daniel Craig and in the early to mid 00s he played many Bond type characters in : Spy Game, Mr and Mrs Smith and even if its not a spy flick he showed he was good at getting the ladies in Troy
Glad to see some love for Barry. I liked his version of Bond. However, I feel it is completely unfair to rank him against Connery, Craig, etc- and unfair to rank CR '54 with any of the official Bonds. It's like comparing Judd Hirsch's Count Dracula in the children's special The Halloween That Almost Wasn't to Christopher Lee, Oldman or Langella.
I will say Nelson's crew cut is exactly how I picture's Bond's in the LALD novel.
I remember an interview with Nelson, when he said someone told him he looked to be doing a Bogart impression with his Bond, and he had replied that he was just very nervous. One particular line delivery in CR'54 :"It's like any other game. You win or you lose" - his voice and mannerism is exactly like Wally Cleaver.
Considering how much disdain I have for most the names being thrown at us for Craig's inevitable replacement, and having to actually force myself through foggy lenses just to try and picture some of these guys as Bond without laughing, I wonder if maybe I could be a little more open minded about an American actor portraying 007.
Could someone like George Clooney, Brad Pitt Jon Hamm or Chris Pine possibly eff up Bond even more than Cavill did Superman? ( The answer is probably yes). I apologize for offending those who proudly label Cavill as the definitive interpretation of the Man of Steel- but I'm a Chris Reeve/George Reeves guy.
Ryan Gosling- with the right clothes, and look I could possibly be persuaded to open my mind to. Gregory Peck, back in the day definitely had a good Bondian look. Also, I was never against the idea of John Gavin either. I always wonder what DIAMONDS would have been like had he slipped on that short pink tie instead of Sean.
Ironically, Mike Myers (A Canadian) probably did one of the better jobs with Austin Powers, even if tongue in cheek.
