Ben Kingsley should play next villain.
Did you seen him in the Oscars,
he looks like a Blofeld.

What do you think about that?

I didn't think of Ben Kingsley as Bond-villain material until last summer when I saw "Sexy Beast." Lawd Amighty, he was the most terrifying psychopath I've ever seen on film. I agree that Kingsley should play a villain; but let's not pigeonhole him as Blofeld. I'm sure Kingsley could do a brilliant job with whatever kind of nefarious character the producers would throw his way.

What award did Ben Kingsley win at the Oscars, and what films has he been in?

He won an Oscar back in 82 for Ghandi. he also played the villain in Sneakers. Yep, he'd be great as [censored]--I mean Blofeld's twin brother. I know they were going to have Goldfinger's twin at one point, so why not make Blofeld have a brother? To hell with that rat bastard McClory.

Kingsley didn't win an Oscar on Sunday. He was, however, nominated for Best Supporting Actor for the movie Sexy Beast, in which he played a vicious gangster. Why not have him against Bond? Oscar-winners are flocking to the series.

I'd never have thought of that in a million years, however I think Ben Kingsley would be quite ideal for the role as "Bond Villain".

Kingsley is in "Rules of Engagement" in a supporting role... he would make a good blowfeelup big-boss type guy.... he can be very sosphistated if needbe and his speech is very suitable to a bond.

...would love it if britney spears was a bad girl in a bond flick.... simply so i can CHEER WHEN BOND KILLS HER!!! Woohoo!!!! :)
