Anyone here know who I mean when I say Jason Issacs? He's plays a spy in Jackie Chan's "The Tuxedo" and he's been a real badass in "The Patriot." He's about the right age too...I will get a picture for anyone who needs it.

not Bond, but possibly a villain...

When I saw Isaacs in The Patriot I thought he might make a good Bond--he reminded me of a cross between Timothy Dalton and Laurence Harvey (allegedly Kevin McClory's choice to play Bond in his aborted pre-1965 Thunderball project)--but having seen him lately I'm not too sure. He seems to have put on weight since Patriot and he'd require a rug (remember how they looked on Connery in YOLT, DAF, and NSNA?). He also does seem to be establishing himself as a villain: he'll even be in the next Harry Potter movie as Malfoy's father, an arrogant and bigoted bureaucrat. So I guess I'd now rather see Isaacs battling Bond than being Bond.

For some reason he was on that awards thing the other evening; agree about the lack of hair. Looked quick athletic though. Definitely something Dalton-like about the face. Might make a good Bond.

VERY Dalton-esque! I haven't seen any of his work but he'd make a great Bond.

Can anyone post a pic of JI? I've tried to find a suitable one on the net, but to no avail.
In my mind he "looks" too cruel, and better suited as a villain. I hated him (the character, that is) with a passion in The Patriot.
A Bond villain perhaps?

Rather like Mr Carmichael. And Dlaton. A little thin on top, but obviously that can be fixed.

The IMDb has loads of pictures of him, and after sifting through them all; I have to say that I don't think he looks right for the part.
Sorry to disagree with you, but I just don't see him as a potential Bond.

I posted this idea quite a while ago when I saw Jason Isaacs on the Johnny Vaughn show (UK) promoting Black Hawk Down.
I think he would make an interesting Bond, similar to Timothy Dalton, but perhaps not what everyone else would expect.

He plays almost all villains, though. Needs to start playing good guys if he wants a shot, not that I think it will do him any good. He's probably too far down on the shortlist.
