    I'm really looking forward to seeing how Leo Suter does in the upcoming " Lynley " series; I think it will be an ideal project to gauge his potential

    I'm looking forward to that too mate. It's out a week today isn't?

    It appears so...


    Lynley, a BritBox Original, premieres in the US and Canada on Thursday, September 4, exclusively on BritBox. New episodes will drop weekly through September 25. (The series will screen in the UK on BBC iPlayer and BBC One, date tba.)

    It is telling that the same few actors keep being suggested as suitable for Bond. We had a game last May where 20 of us voted for their favorite actor in the role. I still do not see anyone breaking into the top 3.

    1. Leo Suter
    2. Theo James
    3. Callum Turner
    4. None of the above

    I'm honestly waiting for the next Bond to be either someone like that, or someone quite random. Like, we’ll all log in one day and it’s announced Fionn Whitehead is now James Bond…

    For the record I’m not sure how realistic that is or what I’d expect from that…

    I'd still put Aaron Pierre above quite a few names, he's a clear breakout star I think. But has slightly complicated availability perhaps.

    Bond shouldnt be a gymrat, Craig pushed the boundaries too much especially in CR.

    Welcome to the 21st century. The next actor is going to hit the gym

    That's all we need, a Mr Universe contestant.

    ;)
    Hah!

    Former strongmen and/or models becoming Bond? Absolutely ridiculous and unprecedented!

    Honestly, at this point I have no idea. I think he's unlikely, but he has the right level of fame and talent to play Bond. I do see him as a bit more Jack Reacher than Bond, but he's a very good actor. My instinct, rightly or wrongly though, is the next Bond will be white or come across as such if they're mixed race or whatever. To whatever extent a bias is there might be debatable in practice dependent on the candidates and circumstances, but I think that's what we'll get.
