The Blond Bond by Shawshank Weiner
The rumors were true. It wasn't Clive Owen. Not Ewan McGregor. Hugh Jackman? Please, he's too busy tap-dancing somewhere. Yes, Daniel Craig snagged the coveted role of James Bond on Oct. 14, and no doubt many joined in unison by uttering a big: "eh, who?"
But, if "Layer Cake" was any indication, this relatively unknown Brit, who's perhaps best known for shagging model-turned-cokehead Kate Moss and perhaps Jude Law's ex- Sienna Miller, should make for a saucy spy in the forthcoming "Casino Royale. " But, what if he doesn't? Just in case, thecheappop.com has put together a list of seven actors who could take 007 and the Ian Fleming franchise to another level. Hey, you never know.
James Earl Jones:
It's time this actor got more credit than for breathing heavy in "Star Wars," and selling phonebooks in a god-awful fishermen's vest. Let's put this guy in a tux, and watch him win over the ladies with his charm and trademark baritone
Elton John:
The pop singer could really spice up the franchise. I mean, we've never had a Bond that wears a Donald Duck costume and bangs guys.
Christopher Lloyd:
Arguments were made against Pierce Brosnan's age, but why not go with an older, wiser, and dammit, American James Bond? This "Back to the Future" star needs a comeback like Courtney Love needs a good dose of heroin. Plus, Lloyd would supply the role with some much-needed zaniness.
Carson Daly:
Well, before you judge us, think about it: Daly bangs hot chicks (on second thought, let's take out Tara Reid), and so does Bond. Plus, the former TRL host and current late late late late late night talk show host could talk his villains to death or stare into the camera until his head explodes.
Bruno Kirby:
This gifted character actor has been out of movies for way too long. It's time for Hollywood to embrace him with arguably the biggest role in its rich history. Anyone who saw :"The Freshmen," knows Kirby can show his vulnerable and sexy side: just what the doctor ordered for Bond.
Paul Hogan:
Many fans of the Fleming series have lobbied for Australian stars Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe for 007. I say, why let them down? Paul Hogan of the classic comedy "Crocodile Dundee" and the endearing "Almost an Angel" would bring class and comedy to the role: two traits the series has had since its inception. Maybe the actor could bring along Cuba Gooding Jr. along for the ride. Damn that "Lightning Jack" gets me.
Jorge Garcia:
Dude, why not? For years, Bond has been a suave, slender son of a gun. Why not embrace "Lost's" lovable hefty actor? He likes his cake batter shaken not stirred.
