I hope he can pull it off, I am a little doubtful though. James Bond is the ultimate man, not just anyone can play the roll.
My picks would have been: Urotrash Darth550 Dale Ryalex Haselhoff In no particular order, except for whose ever schedule allowed. With 10 hour work weeks, I think Uro might take it!!
Since (based on the books) Bond would be about 85 years old currently, they could have also considered Wilford Brimley.
He is ugly as hell. How is he going to be James Bond? He might work if James Bond only nailed skanks!
Here are some more pictures of him and I think he looks a little different: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0185819/photogallery
He looks more like a Bond villan than Bond. I still say no one can match up to Connery or Moore. The two best Bonds in my opinion, with Connery being top.
G.F.L. to him. Even Roger Moore looked tougher than this guy does. And where's the suave look he needs, too? Well, maybe they picked him because he can do his own stunts. Oy Vey. DM
No Sir...........I don't like him. He has no savoir-faire. He is plain, and he is just plain ugly. With a mug like that, attracting hookers would be beyond Bond.
So maybe the plot can be for him to figure out who gave him 6 STD's in one shot. Or maybe that she killed Kurt. HAHA.
