(I'm assuming I got the right Sonny Robertson? If we're still entertaining that one....)
Having said that, nearly all of the others could work, purely on the basis of the photos, except for Sonny Robertson. Who is this chap? Somewhat unsuitable imho, at least from that photo. Tom Hughes looks younger than he is, which could be a positive.
thing on the boys checklist, I assume would be if any of the actors are Jewish ? :))
Elba isn't a consideration as Bond is white. Religion is irrelevant.
Why you're a regular Bob Hope.
I can't believe what a turn around I have made in my opinion but I'm really hoping for Hiddleston.
Oh and yes very nice job on the portraits. Clever.
I never understood the appeal of Clive Owen as Bond. He is a capable actor, but I could never see him as Bond. He looks too much like a drunken boxer.
It was not so much his twang that I didn't like but his voice. He did not have the virile baritone voice they all had to a degree.
Cambridge ( Rather like our film hero ) even having a Scottish father. :D
Yes, I agree with this as well. I never noticed that this was affecting my impression until I saw it mentioned here, by NicNac I think. I now realize how important voice is.
Yes Tom Hiddleston is the right choice. Agreed.
If not thread has been done about it, I might start one about the voice of Bond. Who had the best (Connery I think), the worst (Brosnan), and who among the potential Bonds have the best voices.
It came to my mind when I read the TV Tropes entry on "Badass Baritone". When I was looking at the entry on Mozart's Don Giovanni. And I think I mentioned it before, but some British baritones, had they been actors instead of opera singers, could or could have made great James Bond.
British accent, and can carry themselves with a swagger. :)

Obviously this carries no weight and is all made a little fun. But I was surprised to see Aidan Turner so low. Maybe he's not as desirable as the tabloids and bookmakers make out.
I guess im the only one who liked Pierce Brosnan 's voice very much.
Deep and soft at the same time, actually his voice is part of ehy if find him so sexy and thats for another thread but sex appeal or attractiveness department is a huge deal for me its like 90% of the importance for me in a Bond actor.
I also liked very much Sean Connery and Daniel Craig 's voice who make my second and third place in attractiveness ir how sexy i find them.
