I Was thinking that maybe if Goran was British or Australian then he could have been James Bond because he looks too Bondian.He has everything going for him except the accent.I really believe that for something as big as Bond,casting someone from outside of UK is always a risk.An Australian have been cast before.But im sure they wont be to happy or keen to cast some one from outside of the UK.
It is a fact actually.The franchise is too huge to take such risks while casting.
Nontheless i didnt want to disrespect anyone.All Bond's have done a fine job IMO and were good in there own way.Like Lazanby was amazing for me.I am just saying that the EON guys are careful abut such matters as Bond is a National Icon in the UK.
Its just my thinking about this issue.WHat is your opinion?
If Goran was British or Australian

I think he looks too foreign anyway, so I don't think the accent would have mattered. Still, I would love it if the rumors of him being the villian in Bond 22 are true.

I think he's too tall. Ironic that Craig is considered too short at 5'11 (even though Fleming describes Bond as a 6' tall guy) but I think that Goran guy is 6'4 and I think that's too tall for Bond and I imagine he'd be slow and awkwardly un-agile during that free running scene as an example...and finding villians to be imposing would be a chore to boot.No, they got the right guy. Goran can play a Balkin baddie though.

No - Daniel Craig is a better actor, he has more screen presence and he's sexier!

A Bond-actor can never be too tall. Craig is very short, too short for Bond. But they fixed that (or tried to) with camera-angles in CR and hopefully it will not be a problem in future Bondfilms.I think he's too tall.

Agreed. Unless you're Yao Ming, you can't be too tall to play Bond. Although I enjoyed Craig's performance, his height is a concern of mine that I hope the future directors will keep a smoke and mirror job.
