Should there be a minimum height for Bond?
I think there should be a minimum height for a James Bond actor. It should be 5 feet 11.

Re: Should there be a minimum height for Bond?
I'd say 6ft. But there are some actors who could pass with a little less. Craig's body type is stout, when he bulks up he looks to short and thick

Cubby's views on the height of a prospective Bond actor apparently put paid to any chance of Burt Reynolds (who was Guy Hamilton's choice) doing Live and Let Die.

Re: Should there be a minimum height for Bond?
Yes. If they don't, someone like Mini Me will get the job(exaggerating slightly but I don't wonder if it's crossed Babs 'N' Mikey's minds.)

If EON Babs wants someone shorter, try Warwick Davis from HP.
Re: Should there be a minimum height for Bond?
the first ever Oompa Loompa Bond,perhaps? Complete with orange skin(they can achieve that look quite well with fake tans )
