  Yeah I don't think Dickinson is unknown at all, I find that a slightly curiously description. Not A list maybe, but he's a properly famous film actor.

  I suppose that's the question - how unknown is 'unknown' supposedly by the standards of those making this next Bond film, and how much in practice is 'established' a good description by my standards?
  
  Like, I'd say if the next Bond were Solly McLeod, I would say that's an established, but lesser known actor (lesser known than Craig was prior to Bond I suppose, but established with a notable filmography behind and with some pretty big names in there). Is he an unknown by Amazon's standards? Probably. Go a bit further and I guess you could imagine if someone like, say, Jack O'Connell were the next Bond. That's a slightly older and very much established actor too, very comparable to Craig pre-Bond. Certainly not unknown and with one foot in the door with Hollywood, but not exactly Tom Cruise level of fame either. Is he an unknown by Amazon's standards? Perhaps. Both I think would be realistic possibilities, and both could be seen as 'lesser known' but still established actors.
  
  I don't think we're getting a Lazenby this time round, although even he put in the hours for the role. They need an actor with experience, commitment, and perhaps with enough maturity to handle this role (whatever age that is in practice). It's a big job. But at the same time it can't be an A-Lister or someone obvious without purpose.

  Unknown means, no agent. Bottom of the barrel stuff
