That’s quite good actually.
That’s one American actor that can do it then. I agree with the example.
I was fooled, certainly.
His parents are English I think, so that explains how he can do the accent well.
Too old I think, not sure exactly, but he’s still my #1 pick.
All of them, I'm sorry to say. I know crew who have worked with him, and say he's a lovely and professional guy, but he really struggles to deliver and directors have to be patient with him, but he's got the looks and a certain charisma - and, as I say, people really like him as a person. I just don't think he could carry Bond beyond looking the part.
Cavill is all that but at least he's British and not a skinny American. I agree with you about Craig.
+1.
Yes, I always have an awareness that he's doing some pretending rather than acting.
If it is, Luke Evans is definitely the man for the job.
Luke Evans is the full package and a sensible suggestion.
Chamalet appears ‘little’ full stop. The screen/ camera is said to make one look bigger, so he must be tiny (height and frame).
There was a recent photo of Evans that was very Bondian IMO that’s on my Instagram, but to move a photo from Instagram to this forum using my iPhone 5 seems too insurmountable a task right now.
He deserves a screen test and is a great actor. I can see him as Bond.
But I don’t think Eon would give the role to an openly gay actor. I’m not agreeing with that, but that’s probably the case IMO.
I agree. But the other decision makers (straight men), will deem it a risk not worth taking.
It’s about minimising financial risk and maximising profit (in all Countries) to Board Members.
Did it anyway.
My favourite candidate. It’s him, Turner or Hoult for me. Cool pic, that one.
That suit and those shoes will be ruined!
True and interesting, I think that Hoult gathers more consensus here in the forums, then Evans and then maybe Turner, the latter being the one more members have reservations about, mainly regarding his star power and acting chops. Then there are the Cavill supporters, and I do understand those to a degree, and the fringe ones who propose some other interesting choices that just don’t gather as much consensus as the ones above. Wouldn’t you agree?
For me, I prefer Evans to Hoult, but what Hoult lacks in 'look' for me, he certainly makes up for in age. And to use my own argument, if he were cast, in a few years he could really take shape.
I think it's easy to see why people like Cavill in the role, but his acting would make him a disappointing choice. He looks good on a poster but that's it.
Jon Hamm looks wise that is James Bond.
