Classic Bond Forum

I remember clearly, that it was MICHAEL MADSEN, who mentioned publicly, that they had hired an Australian guy, to replace Pierce,
apart from being in DAD with Pierce, Madsen is a close friend of Pierce's, and a neighbour of his in Malibu.

I suspect this guy is a gal, judging by the comment about never missing an opportunity to post the picture of Dobby in his speedos. I suppose it could be a gay man.

LOL someone beat me to it Well, he *is* popular with gay men(make of that what you will )

The actor that Michael Madsen was refering to was infact the late Heath Ledger.
Who apparently was on a short list of possible Brosnan replacements.
Not sure if he could've done Bond, or whether he would want to. Though judging by his ability as an actor, I wonder if he might not make a great OO7.
To bad we'll never know. Huge loss to the movie industry.

He might possibly have been talking about Jackman, Worthington or O'Lachlan.

Stewart granger reminds me of pierce brosnan a bit

Agreed, he was 29 at the time (not too young or old).
