Alas we'll never know.
Yep,Cubby thought he was too aggressive,but wasn't Lazenby the same ?
Lazenby got away with it because he followed Connery,Collins didn't because he would have been following Moore.
Affable Roger. As after all LTK was a shock to many, although a favourite of mine.
From imdb... He was considered for James Bond in the 1980s, but Albert R. Broccoli turned him down, thinking he was "too thuggish". I wonder then, what Cubby would've made of Daniel Craig.
Very sad to learn of his passing at a relatively young age. A potentially great Bond we never got.
Great little story there @ColonelSun.
And yes Benster,Collins had a cheeky smile and could deliver brilliant one-liners and would have been perfect to follow Sir Roger than the stiff,nervous Dalton.
Personally I think re Craig and Cubby,i have a sneaky feeling that Cubby wouldn't have liked him at first.
And as for Lewis dying so early,its a tragic waste of a great actor in general,and a Bond that should have been.
You only have to look at him as Bodie in the Professionals and Peter Skellen in Who Dares Wins to see that.
Past, You can sort of see why they didn't get it but not using Collins was a mistake. He
Really did have it all. Great timing for Comedy, the cheeky grin and the ability to throw
A convincing punch !
Spot on !!
Roy Budd would have been perfect to make a Bond score..everything about WDW is perfect,a great,patriotic film,and Lewis is brilliant in it.
A big mistake,the perfect match...part Connery,part Moore.
Everything Brosnan tried and failed to pull off.
Exactly...I actually watched the Iranian Embassy attack by the SAS live on TV round my grandparents house when it happened,which is of course what the film is loosely based on..a very proud moment to be British.
Really liked Skellens use of morse code in WDW.
Something simple but effective that could easily be applied to a Bond film.
I just changed the thread title @Benny to make it more of a general topic and moved it from 'Bond Movies' into 'Actors' instead.
Yes that's the one...but I've never seen it.
Few bills.
