It's quite strange to see in a screen actor nowadays, at least in my opinion. I actually don't remember him having the habits as noticeably in the episodes of Sandington I watched, or that Viking thing. His co stars don't seem to have this habit either from the clips I watched.
Perhaps he's a sort of Henry Cavill type. Not an overly natural actor, but likeable enough onscreen (and let's be honest, probably benefits from his looks. I must admit though I don't see quite as much charisma in him compared to Cavill). If he gets a director willing to do the extra work with him he can put in a relatively decent performance. I know he's got this Anna Biller horror coming out so it'll be interesting seeing him in a film (although it looks like an ode to Technicolor horrors, which means the acting may well be quite heightened anyway, so I don't expect subtlety). I think he's playing a Bob Crotchet type in some sort of Christmas Carol movie coming out next month too. Not leading parts by any means, but worth keeping an eye on.
With Ebenezer Screwge in the lead!? 🤪
:))
Yes he was extremely wobbly-headed in the 90s; the stiff-necked Batman mask actually helped him keep it straight!
It's particularly important for Bond - a character who is, very often, extraordinarily confident. The character has to be magnetic, and often it's where they look and how they come across in those smaller expressions that really makes it impactful.
Turner should try to get the lead role in That man from Rio.
Elordi is Australian so I can't see him at the top of the list of candidates. I think Amazon will get criticism if they cast Elordi so why risk it?
Example:
"Amazon cast an Australian as Bond because no decent British actors are out there."
Elordi may have decent acting ability to play a credible Bond but if he will get negative social media attention if cast. It's possible most film goers won't care, though. Elordi has played a British character in Saltburn so that's a positive. His accent sounds convincing.
If you like him you'll LOVE that Radcliffe guy. He's basically a younger version but with the same upsides.
Cavill type would be ideal next great distance from Craig.
If the next Bond is slightly more Moore-esque (ie. expressive and lighter on the quips) that’d certainly be fine by me! But I think regardless of the actor’s take on Bond, the actor themselves has to have those strong screen instincts and make Bond their own. They can’t be lacking in that department otherwise it causes problems.
You wouldn't get that with Cavill though.
Agreed unfortunately!
