As it has been mentioned here http://debrief.comma...=VINCENT CASSEL Vincent Cassel could have played Vesper's Algerian friend in QoS, but as Qwerty said the role was too short for him.
Do you think that he could fit in a Bond film and in the role of the main villain?

Certainly! Vincent Cassel is without a doubt a superb actor who particularly excels in roles that present a mulit-dimensional character.Vincent Cassel is, in my opinion a very good choice for the role of the villain in Bond 23. Considering his acting abillities which are, no doubt, many, his scary look and his charm he could easily be a threatening, psychotic, evil wealthy villain.

In fact he's too good for a traditional Bond villain role!!! Cassel is a wonderfully physical actor who would have to be a literal anti-Bond if he were the baddie...
In the B23 in my head I often imagine Bond being hunted by a superb killer hired by Quantum - the hunter, hunted as it were. Cassel would be perfect in that kind of role.
Of course he could play an extremely fascinating "shades of grey" ally too...

He’s got an interesting look but something about him reminds me too much of Mathieu Amalric for him to be the villain directly after Quantum of Solace. Probably just me though.

I thought the same in the beggining, but Amarlic is shorter, not fit and he doesn't inspire you in general as a villain. You're right though, the resemblance is quite obvious!

I see Cassel more as a strong henchman or assassin, rather than as an 'evil mastermind' type.
I agree with you that he could play the role of a henchman, but I don't think that he will accept a 2nd role in a film. That's why I proposed him as the main villain!
