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.

Yes there should be a height and looks requirement for a James Bond actor.

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.

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.) :twisted:
