How old is he? That could be an issue. He might lose viewers in the US as well as most Americans only know him from those terrible Fantastic Four films. Looking at the casting, the reboot is looking even worse!!! :cry:
"Dalton makes an effective Bond - lacking Sean Connery's grace and humor, and Roger Moore's suave self-mockery, but with a lean tension and a toughness that is possibly more contemporary" - Roger Ebert

He was never near the top of my list. But I'd welcome him as Bond now we have Craig - who looks the complete opposite of how Bond is supposed to look.
Bring back Bond!

He would have been alright around 2006 but his nose is too big.
