    It’s unrealistic to deny that, when it comes to height, there upper and lower limits ; a 5’6” actor will never be cast. On the other end of the spectrum, it’s highly unlikely that a 6’6” actor would get the job. If this were to be illustrated in a graphic, there would be a green middle that would transition to red on either end.

    Perhaps they should do that for the actors when screen-tests roll around. At the door their height, jaw, and ear size will be taken and plotted on a graph. A 5'10 actor with moderately large ears and a somewhat square jawline without a beard is acceptable. But should his ears go into the red or his height is even an inch above 6'2 that's an automatic disqualification.

    An actor can be 5'10" and have incredible screen presence, or 6'4" and look awkward on camera.

    @Jordo007 I hope you know I value your input.
    But how is Elordi too Australian?
    He’s got rave reviews in several of his parts. Whilst he is a little on the tall side, I don’t think he should be ruled out.
    Even if he is Australian.
    I know for a fact that Heath Ledger was considered after Pierce was let go.

    I think Ledger was too "blond" for Bond but otherwise great suggestion.

    Ahh sorry my fault, I should have made it more clear it was a joke. Everyone was talking about actors being "too short" "too tall"

    He's got an unreadable face, bit of a mystery. Seen an interview months back where he was honoured to be included in the casting talk. But Bond's heart is Welsh.
