As a 17 year old kid, bringing this wannabe into the scene is like telling Master Cheif to win the war without a gun. But on a more serious note, I am willing to give Craig a chance, but how can you excpet a blonde haired, skinny, and plain ugly actor to fill the role of the svuaest man alive? You can never change the first impression, and although craig *might* be able to act the part, Bond is all about dashing first impressions

I can't wait to see Daniel Craig as James Bond. You didn't put one of his best, sexiest performances on your list of his movies - "The Mother." He was amazing in it, and I make it a point to see everything he does since seeing it. His performances in "Layer Cake" (although I had a hard time understanding the cockney accent, which makes it all the more real) and "Munich" were great. If anything, I think he's selling out a bit by doing James Bond - I like his small, indie flicks much more. He's too good for James Bond, but I'm still looking forward to seeing it.

Nobody has seen Daniel Craig play Bond yet, so nobody knows how he'll do it. Every character is different. He's done well so far, let's just see how this goes. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Blonde is good. Shaken, not stirred. Wit with style and ducking a punch. Gadgets and a Walther PPK. The proper tux being brushed off after kicking the bad guys ass. These are the things I think about when you say Bond.....James Bond. I'll be there to give him a chance. Joe

It's apparent that this guy doesn't fit the role of James Bond. No, Im not boycotting Casino Royale, I hope to see it in theatres ASAP. But I would highly doubt this movie to be a box office hit with this character portraying the role of the sauve James Bond. Ahem. Sean Connery Rocks.

I for one thought he did a great job in Tom Raider, and Road to Perdition. I think he should be given the chance as all the other Bond men. Sean Connery is my fav and I think that the newer generations need to have their idols as well., Maybe they will watch Daniel Craig and then be compelled to watch the rest of the Bond movies and make their own choice as whom they liked better. And Daniel Craig certainly fits the Bond persona. We know he's fit; did you see that body coming out of the shower in Tomb Raider? He's a good choice!!!

I think that Daniel Craig is great choice for the new James Bond. He is a very talented actor and ruggedly handsome to boot. Who cares if he doesn't have dark hair like his predecessors? Everyone thought that Brosnan was too small physically to be Bond, but he ended up being liked and accepted as the then new Bond. I say out with the old and in with the new!

Having grown up as a huge Bond fan, I have to admit that the last installment did loose it's edge. Although I think that Brosnan was a great Bond, there are parts in that film where frankly I cringe. I don't think the fault lies with him though.To many people slate the actor when it's the writers at fault. Having recently read Casino Royale, I'm really looking forward to a back to basics Bond. Also having seen Archangel, and more recently Layre Cake, I honestly think Daniel Craig has what it takes. Ok so he's blonde, but lets face it the man can act, and he has that hard edge that I think you need for the role. I think Brosnan could have done that if given the chance, but hey we've got a new Bond. Let's see what he can do. In my experience people who try to boykot something like a film, or a new actor, are only acting up because they have nothing better to do in their sad little lives. I have faith in Craig's ability. Give him a chance.

Hi . I'm an Edinburgher . Like many others, I've met / come across Connery in person . My own brother, now a Swiss natural, has likewise met / come across Mr. Roger Moore . My personal view, and our shared view, is that Connery has been a high-profile Scot, for which we ARE grateful, but, that he CRAVES adulation, in a sort of un-manly way, which creates a paradox ( the most macho Bond being the most needy diva ? ) . We also know and feel that Roger is the opposite: he is so daft, and self-deprecating, that he ought to be much more widely regarded as a role model for the long-lost values of modesty, self-mockery and ( surely ) decency . Roger has done untold work for The Variety Club and for UNICEF . We, as a world apparently teetering on the precipice of self-immolation ( somewhat Bond-like ) need more self-criticism, self-deprecation, and altruism among our disastrous, catastrophically-inadequate, supposed 'leaders.' DANIEL, on the other hand, is-- and will be-- terrific . He LOOKS like a hero . And, if you doubt us, ask his beautiful Italian co-star . She will tell you that he is "un figo" ! [ A "stud." ]

Hello ,Sweden talking! I´think that Daniel Craig is a perfect choise to be the next Bond.He may not have the looks that Brosnan had but he sure have something ,a sexy,dangerous apperence.That is what Bond should have ,not just good looks,but also a more dangerous side.. I really would like to be the next Bond girl to get between the sheets with Daniel Craig...Who knows what secret weapons he has to offer...

(german version): Die britische Zeitung "Sun" weiß es genau: DANIEL CRAIG, der neue, sehr umstrittene (weil nicht als Sean Connery-Look-A-Like oder cooler Schönling á la Pierce Brosnan verwendbare und noch dazu - Not Amusing! - teutonisch blonde) Darsteller des James Bond, ist im Privat- und Berufsleben ein Weichei. Er kann nicht mit Rennbooten umgehen, er legt schon mal den Sicherheitsgurt bei 50 km/h an, nasse Füße sind ihm ein Greuel, bei Stunts verletzt er sich schon mal in ungeschicktester Weise (wenn er überhaupt selbst Stunts ausführt!), wahrscheinlich hält er sich beim Schießen mit seiner Faustfeuerwaffe die empfindsamen Öhrchen zu und, was natürlich besonders schwer wiegt, er kann nicht pokern. Nun mag man einwenden, daß es marketingmäßig nicht sehr weise ist, diese Details aus dem Leben eines Mimen, der glaubhaft die bekannteste Doppel-Null Großbritanniens verkörpern will, in dieser Weise in die Weltöffentlichkeit entkommen zu lassen. Andererseits: Hat schon einmal jemand versucht herauszufinden, wie es mit dem privaten Heldenmut z.B. eines Connery bestellt ist? Oder reicht es, sich mit locker sitzendem Drittgebiß nuschelnd für eine nationalistische Partei einzusetzen und Schottenröcke mit nichts drunter zu tragen, um den aufkeimenden Blasenkatarrh, geboren aus schottischem Feuchtklima, als Zeichen maskuliner Härte zu deuten? Don't Be It, Dream It! Spinnen wir den Gedanken weiter, der hinter der Forderung nach Authentizität im Privatleben steckt: die Demontage eines ungeliebten Schauspielers, der so gar nicht dem seit den sechziger Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts geprägten Klischee entspricht und eine Neudeutung wagt. Überlegen wir uns, was es bedeuten würde, forderten wir von allen Darstellern ihre Rolle auch im "Sweet Home" zu verkörpern: Was hätte Alec Guinness alias Obi-Wan Kenobi erdulden müssen? Jahrzehntelange, harte Jedi-Ausbildung auf der Skywalker-Farm. Lichtschwertkämpfe im Fitnessraum. Oder Christopher Reeves: Was für einen Aufschrei hätte es geben müssen, wenn sich die Schere seines Friseurs nicht aufgrund der stahlharten Haare des Superman verbogen hätte! Schweigen wir von Harvey "Damien" Stephens, dem Antichrist aus "The Omen", der nach Logik der CRAIG-Hasser nun eigentlich auf dem Sessel George W. Bushs sitzen müßte. Unnötig auch zu erwähnen, daß bei aufmerksamer Verinnerlichung der Rolle des Hannibal Lector ein Anthony Hopkins keine Auszeichnung für sein Lebenswerk, sondern einen Ehrenplatz in der Klapse bekommen hätte. Bleiben wir also auf dem Boden der Tatsachen. Bier ist Bier, Schnaps ist Schnaps und ein Schauspieler ist nicht die Figur, die er darstellt. Oder, um mit Sir Laurence Olivier zu sprechen: "Why don't you try acting?"

I have to admit that I was one of the skeptical ones when I heard about Daniel Craig in the role of James Bond. I had only ever seen him in Tomb Raider, and was pulling hard for Clive Owen in the role. I'm not the type that lives in the past, I just wasn't convinced based on his recent track record (of which I was admittedly underinformed) and because of my own biases toward Clive Owen. However, once I saw the picture posted at the top of this website on another page (wikipedia.org), I WAS SOLD. He's the first Bond since Connery who really struck me as truly gritty. I think a picture's worth a thousand words, and that one sure made a believe out of me. I'm going to give Craig a chance and bring all my friends to see Casino Royale.

Let's also set the record straight on malicious, ridiculous charges aimed at Daniel Craig: 1) He chipped a tooth in a fight scene and, so, must be a sissy. Say what? Jackie Chan, by his own admission, has broken every bone in his body--and he still can't act to save his life. Mr. Craig, who CAN act, comes out ahead on this score. 2) Further word on that one: Sean Connery, it's said, howled in indignation and stormed off the set when Odd Job chopped him too hard once. 3) He must be taking steroids to have grown so buff. Yes, he was rail-thin in Layer Cake--which was probably filmed in 2004. But he'd bulked up for Munich--which was 'in the can', I'd guess by last summer at the latest to allow for post production for its fall release. This would have allowed Daniel Craig, no slouch, a full six months to get in the shape he's now in. Good luck to our new James Bond--and let's wait for the movie!

Hi everybody, I am a fan of Daniel Craig since I saw him in Layer Cake where he really was stunning. I really don't understand this 'anti-daniel-craig' feeling which is going on in the media. I mean most people even don't know him or the work he has done so they should just give him a fair chance to proof himself worthy of portraying Bond. And I am very confident that he will do a great job, as he is a very talented actor. In the end he will convince the people of ‘his’ Bond and not only because of his amazing blue eyes!!!

I think that Craig is the perfect choice. He's just the Bond Ian Fleming wrote about. I agree with Dan Giambrone. Daniel craig is a perfect choice...

I like Daniel Craig as Bond and by showing support to him as bond also i like his movies.....

To set the record straight, Flemings physical description for Bond was as follows:- 6ft tall, slim build, black hair, blue-gray eyes, a thin scar down one side of his face and with dark, cruel good-looks. None of the previous Bonds have been a perfect match, in either their appearance or character. So don't be so shallow in dismissing Daniel, just because he has blonde hair. For me, Dalton was the best Bond, as he played the character as a human and not a super being. He was outstanding and I believe and hope that Daniel will bring the character back to his roots and as a result, be an excellent Bond. Good luck!

People have surprised me before, craig might pull it off and come close to the older bonds. I'll give him a chance.

I think Daniel Craig will make a superb Bond. He's a find actor and most definitely a hunk. Look at those gorgeous eyes!!! Speaking of Bond, I have to say that I find it quite sad that actor Michael Billington, who tried out for the Bond part for years, was never chosen. Instead he got the part of the spy in "the spy who loved me". What a brilliant Bond he would have made! So handsome and classy. Anyway, that was some years ago and sadly he passed away last July of cancer. Best of luck, Daniel!! I can't wait for the movie!! I'm with you-if other people don't like you, screw 'em!!

I'd like to tell the world why I DON'T think Daniel Craig will make a great James Bond. Lacks: 1/ sex-appeal 2/ behaviour /"Screw em", when interviewed about people disliking him/ 3/ skill etc. I recommend to look at mirror.uk. site /found at GOOGLE-Images for Craig/, an interview from Oct. 2005. If that's how 'Bond' should appear at the public... JESUS' SAKE!!!

Daniel Craig is defently the best choice since Timothy Dalton had his opening in ``The living daylight`. The best bond film along with ``For your eyes only`` and ``From russia with love.Die another day was really pathetic.The producers has now found a man that can bring back the realisme,that the bond films really needs.Daniel craig is defently the right man.I`m a happy bond fan:)

Everything I've read seems to point in the rite direction. Less mindless explosions every two seconds and more of an engaging DARK picture. Craigisnotbond supporters should be on their knees thanking Broccoli that they didn't pick Colin Ferrell.

I have seen Daniel Craig in quite a lot of pictures and personally I believe all Bond fans should be wild with joy that such an amazing actor even heard their proposal. All the best to all of you.
