  What do you gents think about a Ginger Bond?

  
  I did think Damien Lewis would have been a decent Bond a few years back.

  Have we talked about Gavin Drea? Or Phil Dunster? Lots of other good potential candidates like these fellas. Gavin Drea is interesting. Just seen him in Surface in Apple Tv, quite a good presence, and voice. Dunster is also in the same show, so is Oliver Jackson-Cohen. All good candidates, as far as I’m concerned. All under 40.

  His Vesper/Gala/Tracy is standing right behind him.

  Girl in yellow, right? 😆
  
  From the three, I’d pick the Irish fella, Drea. But all of them are top notch actors, who could be groomed into the role, IMO.

  Well, as has been said of potential directors, cast a broad net, evaluate, let them run the gauntlet and hopefully the best man for the job will be a clear choice.

  I don’t think I’ve seen the actors in pics two and three, but superficially, what great looks they have. Handsome. Masculine. And number two is like a younger Dalton (who I always found to have the greatest face of the Bond actors); Number Three has a dark, ruggedness that I’d love for a new James Bond.

  Yeah, these guys play against each other - sort of - in the Apple TV show "Surface", and they're all great in their respective roles. I was watching the show, and couldn't decide which one would be a better Bond. So, the days when there were but a few choices out there are gone. There is talent out there. Young, fresh talent, with both the looks and the chops. Great physicality, presence,... That Gavin Drea does look like Dalton. Has a very distinct Irish accent, but I suppose he can change it at will. And Phil Dunster has this villanesque, creepy quality about him that would also be very interesting to explore. Oliver Jackson-Cohen is simply very, very versatile. The least favorite of the three, for me, but very versatile.

  Oliver Jackson-Cohen is indeed a very talented actor. I have no dog in the fight, and I’m keeping a blank mind and expectations are nil on who they cast, but if Jackson-Cohen got the tap on the shoulder, I don’t think he’d disappoint the majority of filmgoers. He’s likeable with chops.
