Yeah, it was his silent creepy panther like walk in Elizabeth. Very intense :)
Another one I need to watch I guess.
In all truthfulness, my friend, best not to, as you'll end up watching Bridgerton, and I can't recommend that to an enemy, less alone to a friend :)
Here's the scene in Elizabeth, where our very own Lord Sith Craig makes his panther like Conneryesque walk:
Hopefully he played in something else than Bridgerton. If worse come to worse, Golda Schultz is a fan of the series, so it can't be THAT bad.
I understand what Barbara meant, it was a striking moment in the film very memorable. I've always had my doubts on it was just this that sold her on Daniel though, I think Layer Cake especially gave everyone a sense of what he could do as an actor.
I think Barbara and Michael were always reluctant to mention it as it would be likke saying "Layer Cake sold us on him like it did everyone else" I thought it was very deliberate during Being James Bond, that of the films shown in Daniel's filmography Layer Cake was the one of few left out.
Lara Croft and Road To Perdition must have made them aware as well, given how well he handled himself opposite A listers and real legends like Hanks and Newman
Yep. Layer Cake was what convinced me he could be a good Bond when his casting was announced. His part in Elizabeth was tiny...
Cubby used to do it too, claiming he’d spotted Moore and considered him for DN. I mean, it’s possible he’d seen him earlier and figured he had Bond potential but never acted on it prior to LALD when he was a bit more established. There’s no record Moore was considered for DN. Stating he’d been considered earlier gives this idea that he was ‘the chosen one’ for Bond and Broccoli discovered him, even 10 years prior. He also did a lot of spin on what happened with Brosnan/Dalton in ‘84 - it’s likely why there’s this myth Dalton was seriously considered in ‘69.
Yeah, it was a small role, but absolutely memorable one. Elizabeth is one of these films with a perfect casting.
Side note: watching The Capture and while I'm still not convinced about Callum Turner, I think pretty much half the cast could be in a Bond film playing villains, Bond girls, etc. Maybe not main characters, but definitely supporting cast.
Definitely. But then again you kind of have to with Bond as it’s such a selective role. Even Lazenby got the stories about him punching out a stunt double and finding the same hairdresser/tailor that Connery had in order to sneak into the EON office (how true this is can be debated, even if it’s embellished).
Series 2 is what made me consider Paapa Essiedu, he’s amazing in it. But, not available.
