    I'd prefer a good comedy actor, as those tend to be extremely good in serious roles. Mike Myers could do it.

    Steve Carell is very good if and when he plays a straight role.
    I could picture him as some kind of megalomaniac business type.

    He's been there and done that, no ?

    A weird part of my mind is imaging Steve Carrel doing a better Blofeld in SP/NTTD than Waltz.

    Too famous. I still think we should go for veteran actors from Europe or outside UK/USA.

    Ricardo Darín?

    Interesting suggestion. He's getting on in years though. I was thinking about Gabriel Garcia Bernal, who is the right age now and a veteran actor, although he might be a tad too famous and too good looking.

    I'm watching Bullet Train Explosion and there's a few actors in it who could make convincing Bond villains. If they are fluent enough in English.

    Sacha Baron Cohen

    He can be surprisingly good in dramatic roles, but frankly I don't see it.

    Have I suggested Walton Goggins as a bad guy before? He is admittedly almost type-cast a charismatic villain, but watching Fallout has reminded me he's good at it.

    Hell yeah. Think of the unnerving sly portrayal he'd come up with.

    French actor Micha Lescot makes for a wonderful villain in AppleTV+’s Careme. I have no idea if he is fluent in English, but if so he’d be someone to consider. He stands at over 6’3’’, so nice and imposing.

    I may have seen it somewhere in this very thread but I saw someone suggest Diego Luna and I think he’d be a great choice. Think he could be a really good villain to spar off Bond in social settings before things turn violent, too.
