I really like Goode, but I don't know if he'd have made a good Bond. I think I might have liked him as 007, but you never know until you see them on screen. Now I'm sure Fassbender would have been a cool Bond: He'd have still needed good scrip…

These Vanity Fair videos (asking British actors questions) are about six years old, so pretty much everyone in contention has aged out, but still interesting to see so many possible Bonds in one video. Also, one of the questions was 'who is your fav…

He was good in the second series of The OA, though he was playing an American there. In Peaky Blinders (one of the later seasons) he played a rather posh English army officer, and I think that is closer to Bond, if you were looking to check him out.

^We've mentioned him before in the thread.

I think the fact Styles has acted in a big Nolan film gives him at least a little acting credibility. He's not a bad height either, for those of us that care about such things. As several people have said, a number of singers have succeeded in cross…

Can you imagine how much worse it must be at Eon when they discuss who they want for the next James Bond?
-
...and Nicholas Hoult was strongly considered for Batman before Pattinson took the role. I've been watching The Great. Hoult is really good, though not a role that is going to make you say "now that's James Bond!"

Too many nipples.

I think Bond should appear to be somewhere between 6' to 6'2''. Below that makes Bond something of an underdog, whilst a 6'4'' - 6'5'' Bond runs the risk of making it look like he's successful because he has a big physical advantage. IMO, you want t…

The biggest issue I have with him, which I stated when I first suggested him as a candidate, is that he has very 'dramatic' eyebrows, which can sometimes look a little silly. Good height, though. I still think that Eon probably will want someone…

Nicholas Hoult is getting nominations for his role in The Great. I've watched a few episodes, and he is good. Tom Bateman is one of the leads in a new Netflix miniseries Behind Her Eyes, the trailer for which has just dropped:

Definitely the fight choreography needs to be upgraded. CR and QoS were moving in the right direction, but it did peter out after this (though Skyfall did have the silhouette fight with the sniper, which was pretty good). I really like a well-choreo…

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…
