It most likely won't be Jean-Page. I think he's got a bit too much on his plate for Bond and I get the sense he's the sort of actor whose interpretation of the character might not be right for the film they want Bond 26 to be (depending on what they…

But why would 5'6 or even 5'4 be a problem if the actor was otherwise ideal for the role? Is it a deciding factor? Many people - including actors - are around this height. Tom Cruise is roughly 5'7 and Al Pacino is 5'6, the latter of which I foun…

Not sure how controversial this one is but here it goes: Despite the fact that he won an Oscar, I don't think Sean Connery was as good an actor as Roger Moore. Their performances as Bond aside (although Connery had a few where he looked noticeabl…

@sandbagger1 I mean, they make Tom Cruise look tall quite effectively in his action films. Believe it or not many people don't know he's rather short in real life and are quite surprised to learn this after seeing his films, so I get the sense it mi…

Lazenby was always going to struggle following on from Connery. He's not a perfect actor... in fact he's arguably a rather bad one at many points in the film and certainly didn't have Connery's raw screen presence, but I do think OHMSS needed a diff…

Yes, he does have that establishment gravitas as you put it. That said, my two issues with West as M are a) his portrayal might be too similar to Fiennes and b) they might want to go in a different direction with the next M. What if, for example,…

Maybe not as the main Bond villain, but I actually think Merchant would make a good henchman. Not a physical threat to Bond but a more low key, sinister one much like Willy Krebs in the Moonraker novel or perhaps Dr. Kauffman from TND.
