  • Where did he catch your eye?

    Okay, he's hot - voted most sexy man 2006 by some magazine. A friend of mine drools all over for him. I kinda drool a little too. Still I don't think his role as James Bond is his most sexy one. I prefere him in "Love and Rage", not only sexyways but also acting wise. By the way; I really recomendMore that movie if you're interested in his work as an actor. What about you? What role do you think he's fantastic in other than James Bond?

    The best James Bond to date. hide show

    What can I say? I liked him when he first appeared on the big screen in Casino Royale. No fancy gadets for this James Bond. Instead he's more hands on, when it comes to the action.

    I hope he does a total of eight James Bond movie all together, which would put him one past Roger Moore (no offense to his acting or his fans). So far, he's scheduled to do a total of five, same as Pierce Brosnan who didn't a fifth and final after all.

    It's a rare thing to have a blonde Bond, I think Daniel Craig might be the first, if not the second then.

    Good film hide show

    Craig is at his best in layer cake, he plays an unnamed drug dealer who has honor and morals, but is then pulled deeper into the world of drugs and gangsters, i love the way he plays a dealer who is straight up with a honest and fair personality and his performance is good, the supporting cast are exceptional and you really invest in the characters but truly feel for the man with no name, as bond i like him and can see him getting a cult following and being the new connery- but they say that about all the bonds that followed him (Connery that is)

    i've never seen his work, but as a gerard butler fan, i believe that the james bond role rightfully belonged to gerard.

    Straight out of no where, Craig comes out to play one of the best protrayals of James Bond to date in Casino Royale. Some compare him to Connery, but I think he's better. He definitely stays loyal to the brutish style of Ian Fleming's original Agent 007 and that's a good thing.
