    Simply from the perspective of known or “ unknown “ , where does that leave Leo Suter ? He’s been in two series and a couple of small films; I think that would rank him as “ unknown”

    I think Suter still fits in the "unknown" list.

    One thing I like about Suter is he has charisma, all these young actors you see today are trying their hardest to be brooding, troubled artists. It's hilarious. Why can't they lighten up? I just find it very unappealing.

    Like who? Harris Dickinson? Josh O'Connor?

    Neither is high on my list, and strictly going by the “ fresh face/ unknown “ criteria, both are on the upper limit.

    I'm just curious who the young actors who can't lighten up are.

    Was Dalton "unknown" when he get the role in 1986? How you guys see it?

    Not really unknown, but not an A-Lister either. He'd done theatre mainly, but moved over into film/tv a bit more by 1978.

    Is Bond 7 on the same mould?

    I'd say relatively unknown, especially in comparison with his predecessor Roger Moore or the heir apparent Pierce Brosnan.

    I’ve said Fionn Whitehead could be a random, lesser known option, although I’m not sure he’ll be the one in practice.

    Random, other lesser known actor names - I dunno, Jake Dunn, Ben Radcliffe, and Archie Renaux. Not advocating for any of them but not dismissing them either.

    You see I don't know any of them. Like, not at all.

    I had no idea who Daniel Craig was when he was cast. And I had seen him in Elizabeth and Road to Perdition.

    He may seem a bit too young, as Daniel was seen a bit too old, but
    Louis Partridge Is incredibly impressive in what I’ve seen of him, in both interviews and clips of performances.

    If this new incarnation is going to begin with Bond in his formative years, it may be worth the risk of going with such a young actor. I would love to see him mature in the role over a 15 or even 20 year run

    He has a gravitas, including voice few actors of his generation possess.

    Here is an interview, but it includes a clip…

    Very impressive…
