I recall back in 05 seeing Layer Cake in the cinema only for the reason his name had been touted here on commanderbond as a possible PB replacement. I was won over instantly...and bought the dvd when he was officially announced as oo7. I can only speculate how badly CR might have turned out with Henry Cavill or someone else far too young in the role.
I hope Dan sticks around for at least four plus films.
BTW, he still hasn't received his well earned gunbarrel audience cheer. The moment the last dot opens and Bond begins his walk- the audience cheers. Thank,s Mickey G for putting it at the END of Q0S where the audience is leaving

Too bad. Next time, perhaps?
