For whatever reason, it just wasn't a big deal, or they didn't want it to be a big deal. It would totally change that kids life to throw him into stardom and call out his tiny role. His family may have opted not to do that, who knows. I think they brought in someone who looked right and took a photo for three seconds of film, and that was that.
I hope we find out.
Though, the "woman holding a gun" in the TS is credited, but this Bond person is not. It's very strange. FWIW, the Amazon trivia overlay for the movie shows the scene starring Craig when it's on the boy's frame.
I'm going to play my Joker card. I think it's @DewiWynBond ... He's been applying for the main role in B26 and fooled us all along. He was already in a Bond movie.
Is there a thread for this on the Skyfall board? Just thinking we could move the discussion there / make a thread for it and get back to castings here as this might rumble on for a while :).
Things can change subject to casting although it makes sense to go with a relatively younger actor.
At this point there are definitely a few picks that would be disappointing, but anything is workable. I predict it will still be at least a year.
I think it might be a mistake for Smith to take on another another career shadowing role. Over the last 9 years, he has shaken off The Doctor, and has been carving out a good career for himself.
It's funny, at the time, I wanted David Morrisey as The Doctor. But now I can't imagine anyone other than Matt Smith taking over at that time.
Who played Bond in, say, the GoldenEye credits? It’s not Brosnan. These things don’t really become common knowledge.
Anyway, from one bizarre conspiracy theory to another: I was at the Sound of 007 concert tonight and who did I spot… but Aaron Taylor Johnson… ;)
According to 'Art Of The Title' it's Eddie Kidd. Full credits list can be found here:

Eddie Kidd?! How bizarre! Just the year before his terrible injury. I guess I can kind of see it being him. Maybe they’ll get around to listing who’s young Bond in SF at some point.
Actually I didn't realise until now who he was/the fact that he was also a stunt double in GE. Makes sense actually.
The people in those two photos are definitely not the same.
I cannot believe this is still going on.
Yes. cgi-tweaked.
I feel like this is the new "the death of you / the death of him". Some people seem dead set that it's a different person, some dead set that it's the same person. I have no idea / don't really care one way or another. Hmm... Dead Set could be a good title for Bond 26.
Truly. :)) New Fleming publications in 2023! lol
Also, if they did take the CGI route they probably just would have done some sort of de-ageing wipe of the whole face which would affect the eyes too, one would think. We're talking about 1 second of the PTS, I doubt an enormous amount of time and effort was put into this specific moment. I've seen Skyfall a great many times and hadn't even thought of any of this until this discussion here. Just thought/assumed it was Craig both times TBH.
It might be because they colour graded the last image in the SF titles to make Craig appear older. It does look like they used harder lighting for that shot as well. The iris as well is definitely the sort of thing in which the colour/contrast can be affected through the grading, but they do look similar to me.
To be completely honest, to my eye it looks like the promo image that @LucknFate posted of Craig above the SF still is likely the one they used. The face is just stretched for the crack and the features softened.
Anyway, any potential Bond actors? All this talk about facial features and eyes is making me miss the good old days of jawlines...
