I'm not entirely sure where I stand on the subject of Bond changing ethnicity, but like you I've been watching Bridgerton and yes, I too thought "he's totally James Bond" when I saw him. Very good looking and a good height. I'd definitely have him a…

Dalton never felt relaxed in the role, but for his second film I thought it worked because 007 is just so driven in that story. Roger always looked relaxed and made being Bond look fun, even when perhaps he shouldn't! But as a kid I think that's wha…

Niven was a Commando.

There is no actor that they could choose for Bond that would prevent me from seeing the film at the cinema, provided it got at least decent reviews. If the film had bad reviews, that's where goodwill towards the lead actor comes in: if I feel the ac…

If you're in the UK, the new season of The Alienist has just hit Netflix, and he's one of the three main stars in that. It's a period detective series set in New York in the 1890s. As always, he wears a suit well.

I get it, as so many American actors in the past have turned affecting an English accent into an opportunity to caricature the 'stuffy upper-class Brit'; however I have seen several performances from American actors who've done a really good job - A…

Hoult has great cheekbones, but not such a strong jawline. When he smiles his cheekbones pop-out and he looks comic-book handsome, when he doesn't his face can look a little soft. I suspect this might have been why he lost out to Pattinson for Batma…

Charisma in an actor I'd define by how well he (or she) holds your attention on screen. Connery had bags of it - when he comes onscreen in Highlander, the whole movie gets a very noticeable lift. He does this in nearly all of his films, regardless o…

He's a very good actor, but he doesn't look like my idea of Bond, and I've never seen him in a role that shows him as tough or physical. He is taller than I imagined though, and it is interesting that he apparently was in the final round of actors f…

I'm not sure I've ever seen a good screentest. They always seem so flat. I don't know how anyone is ever cast from those things.

He's going to be playing Gawain in the upcoming film The Green Knight.

I watched the Vin Diesel sci-fi actioner Bloodshot the other day, which had Sam Heughan as an antagonist. I've been very lukewarm on about people suggesting him as a possible contender, but I have to admit he came across much tougher than I had expe…

Park Chan-wook. The cinematography in The Little Drummer Girl was gorgeous. The colours really popped off the screen.

All three actors were great in all three clips, and would have made good Bonds at the time, imo. Fassbender especially. I don't see any of those three being in the running now, however.
