He's always had too big a nose for me.
Racist!
I'm a secret Nose-ist actually ;)
I knew it! For shame Bazza.
Old Rich does have quite a nose. Yet it fits his face. Quite Hoagy Carmichael-esque? Or Ian Fleming's drawing of 007? I see a certain resemblance. Still, it's a moot point as he's too old.
True,it is moot alas.
Same with Gerard Butler in his '300' days or 'Rocknrolla'...he looked excellent in those 2 films,but again moot.
It says a lot for the present batch of 'candidates' doesn't it ? ,when everyone seems to be remembering the actors who missed out last time rather than them.
Of course we are speculating idly. Daniel Craig is still OO7 in Bond 25. You will be there to see for yourself.
Exactly!
I'd honestly be fine with any of the current contenders who is at least 6 ft. I suppose that's Stevens, Cavill, Hiddleston or Fassbender based on that list previously posted. I can accept Turner too even if he falls a bit short of the bar.
Other way around for me. Turner first, rest second. Cavill is a muscle cartoon, Hiddleston is to effete, Fassbender is too old, Stevens...well maybe Stevens second, the others a very far away third.
I'm currently viewing TND, and watched NSNA & TLD over the past couple of nights. One thing I can say about these Bond actors is that I probably wouldn't have been able to tell accurately beforehand how they would deliver in the role until they actually got it. There were indications of course, based on their prior work, but ultimately the Bond role is one that they all stepped up to, due to its inevitable importance to their careers.
To a degree that's why I'm reasonably open to anyone as long as they have the right physical characteristics (age, height, body build, voice and style). I have my favourites, but think all of the six have been at least reasonably satisfactory.
The ugliest accent in the world, in my unhumble opinion. Ah for the days of George Sanders and James Mason!
I don't know about "wanting to lose their original accent" - and as for getting jobs, surely their own accent is meaningless as long as actors can do the accent required for the role. But it's normal for people to lose their original accents eventually if they're no longer in contact with it (at all or not much), it's just a natural process. So if one moves to another area/country and lives surrounded by people with a different accent (also in their own homes - spouse, kids having another accent), then the original accent fades away eventually. Even more so when people move away from where they grew up at a young age.
On top of that, when doing interviews actors can still be using the most recent or the next accent they've acquired for work, or be sort of between accents. People are different, some people switch accents with more ease than others. For some it's a process, for some it's like snapping fingers.
He toned down his Scottish accent hugely in Game Of Thrones, so I don't think that would be an issue. His stature would, however.
Same. Would love for Luke Evans to be the next Bond, but it won't happen.
The bigger question is whether it matters. Well, not to me it doesn't because I'm not an actor. But if I was, the first thing I'd so is make sure I'm not only eligible for roles in Coronation Street or Eastenders.
Depends on which direction they want to go
He just joined the new Watchmen series
That's not surprising at all. Almost every time I make a search of an actor or actress on Wikipedia and start reading, they turn out to be from – if not privileged - at least upper middle class type of backgrounds.
He appears to be another who need a beard to enhance his masculinity.
Seems to me Baby face, to small, to old you can't win, remember Daniel Craig some off the comments were disgraceful but now its don't go Craig. I originally said Andrew Lincoln but was told he to old.
Mison would be 40+ when Daniel Craig leaves.
Wasn't Hoagy Carmicheal one of the inspirations for Bond and has any actor who player the part looked like him.
