Would be a great Bond for he's an awesome actor, but the timing is wrong. Or else for one film only. But I don't believe in a 45-year-old new Bond nowadays, do you ?

I was the most active advocate of HJ for Bond on this forum the last time they were casting Bond. I would have liked him over Craig by far. But even I should say that it's now too late for this suggestion.

I forget who now, but there was some Scottish actor I saw in something not too long ago and I remember thinking he'd make a decent 007 (will edit/update if I remember

David Tennant?

... you remember that guy who was in that movie with the other guy. Not him but his co star was married to this other guy who did a movie with the first other guy; THAT's the guy.

James Rebhorn? Nah, he´s not Scottish

[TheREAL008]

Sorry and I mean no disrespect but, those photos are terrible.


Fassbender is overrated. It won't be him.

[Stealth007]

Someone unheard of. The first time I see them, they should be James.

[univex]

Honestly, right now? Daniel Craig. For a long long long time Hell, he can be Bond number 6 and 7 for all I care

[DominicGreene]

What about Matthew Lewis?

I was watching "Miss Pettigrew" in a rather noisy environment but Lee Pace caught my attention as having a Bond aura and stature, complete with (I guess) a very convincing English accent. He turns out to be American, but Shakespearean trained which might explain the mastery of the accent. Anyway here are some pics for your review:

That's how I picture Carte Blanche's Bond.

I think this is a reply to my post. So here goes. I'm not saying he looks like Connery, but there's something reminiscent of a young Connery in Pace's face and physical stature.

[jaguar007]

Lee Pace does very slightly resemble a young Connery, but I watched Pushing Dasies when it was on and there is no way I can see him as James Bond. He does not have the macho presence, the voice, the physicality to pull off 007.

He would remind me more of James Bond's little nephew, Nevin

A Bond film is not HART TO HART. Sorry. VERY wrong choice.

Also take note EON

Of what....? Bad photoshopping?

I think you meant "mystery" - unless you were seeking to impersonate his attempt.

a very convincing English accent

England bears more than one accent, moi lover.

Maybe I have the advantage of never having watched Pushing Daisies. But I thought a lot of argument in this thread was for one's 'acting' ability. If Craig gets a pass for homosexual bed scenes in a movie don't you think you should give the same pass to another actor who acted out of Bond character in a show/movie?

I do not dispute that. Bond we've had 007s of various British based accents.

Certainly; but not all out of the one mouth. A most eccentric effort.

Enver Gjokaj:



He's probably best known as Victor on the criminally-underrated DOLLHOUSE. He was only really a secondary character until the writers realised that he could imitate the other actors ... then they went to town on him, and this was the end result:



Just do his hair a little bit, and I think he'd be very close to Fleming's vision of Bond.

[PotterBond007]

David Tennant! hahaha I think it would be fun to see a Doctor play Bond. All he needs to do is training, and he could get into Bond shape. You never know. . .

[SecretAgentFan]

I love Tennant - but... his voice is too high for Bond, don´t you think?

[TCK]

David Tennant would be an amazing Niall Dunne.

[PotterBond007]

I dunno if I can see Tennant as a baddie. But I'll tell you who would be a decent Bond baddie, since I brought up the Doctor, Christopher Eccelston, I think would be a "Fantastic" Bond Villain. LOL. Tennant could be Q perhaps, if they replace John Cleese. (But, I digress. This thread is about casting Bond.)

[Captain Tightpants]

No, thanks. He looks far too frantic, like he's just been surprised by something.

[Pussfeller]

The only thing remotely Bondian about Tennant is his facial features, and then only when he's being completely impassive. His physique is totally unsuited to the role. He's a beanpole and wouldn't be credible in a fight. His style of acting is far too manic and comedic. He lacks both coolness and virility, the two absolute essential ingredients in any Bond actor. I don't say this to denigrate him. He's a light entertainment man. That's his thing, and all his qualities as an actor are suited to that.

Sam Worthington. Great actor, it hit me while watching The Debt how great of a Bond he'd make. Top notch acting ability, dark good looks and he carries himself very well. Surprised I didn't see him mentioned. He'd be great, 'nuff said!

Hmm, for my taste, he is too bland, too much of a "I want to appear deep, therefore I cuss a lot and act broody"-kinda guy. A Daniel Craig-wannabe looking like an uglier Brosnan-cousin.

Ooops, sorry, seem to be in a bad mood today. I apologize.

[Safari Suit]

You may be in a bad, but you definitely talked a lot of sense

[JB007YH]

@SecretAgentFan:
I used to think that right when he arrived on the Hollywood scene but his last couple of performances seem like he has matured. Have you seen the Debt? He is awesome in it. Btw Jesper Christensen was really creepy as an ex-Nazi. Well acted film all around
