While most of us can agree Broz probably isn't the best of actors the opportunity of Bond did allow him get bigger roles and develop as an actor.
Watching some of his pre-Bond work it's fair to say they DIDN'T cast him for his acting - more his popularity at the time with audiences and, in particular, Americans. Similar to what they did with Moore in the 70s,
(IMO he's better in Goldeneye than a lot of his crappy TV style movies before Bond).
IMO there are three kinds of Bond movies- Flemingesque, tongue-in-cheeky Bond, and Big OTT spy extravaganzas. Broz was a perfect choice for the latter group.
True, but Cubby saw something in the young Broz. I bet he smiled at Pierce, told him he'd keep him in mind for a time after he started shaving for real & gave him a lollipop. :))
Same here. Though I like His Bond and Remington Steele equally.
hehehehehe
Brosnan was somewhat famous in the US, not a star but a relatively known actor. He based all his pre-Bond career on his future Bond role.
They made the right decision, absolutely, any band would do the same. But I still sorta had the emotional crash a month or two later and every day go "What if..." to no avail. i'm very supportive of them, though, I saw them live on Halloween and listen to the album on a weekly basis. Much more than can be said for Brosnan who didn't even watch Dalton's. So now I await another opportunity elsewhere.
And yet Dalton, Moore and even Lazenby went to see DAD at the premiere. Wonder if they complimented Brosnan on the film? ;)
Strange. I've often smiled when I've heard that line. Maybe I'm just crap at reading body language ;)
I would say your description applies to the bit in DAD when he says "right now I'm only interested in endangered specicies". He seems somewhat disinterested.
Seems like he's seen them to me. Apparently he hasn't seen Craig's first two but he loved SF.

He said somewhere that he could not see them when they first came out, as he was bitter because the part slid out of his hands. He probably saw them all when he was cast, as a preparation.
He said exactly the same thing about the first two Craig films. Could not stand seeing them as again he was too bitter.
Well, I managed to see all of the Brosnan films, and as much a waste of time as that was, I am not bitter for it.
