Viggo Mortensen
He's too old now probably but do you think Viggo could have been a decent James Bond?

He looks like a more handsome version of Daniel Craig in real life.

He was great as that Russian hard case a few years back.007 wrote:He looks like a more handsome version of Daniel Craig in real life.

Yes! Eastern Promises was a great movie, though not for the faint of heart

Re: Viggo Mortensen
Hes' a great actor, but not a potential Bond actor.
Probably make a good villain for OO7 to up against.
Oh and thanks for the mention blowers, though is it really that surprising that you may occasionaly agree with me?

I think Viggo would be great if a different look is wanted.

Viggo has been known to do TONS of research for his movies, Eastern Promises especially, so who knows?

Re: Viggo Mortensen
The casting of Daniel Craig and the reboot may have provided the one chance to do something radical with James Bond - as regards the style of the movie and the type of actor.
I think that after Daniel Craig leaves, Eon will make normal Bonds with a handsome actor.

I've said it once, I'll say it again.
You think Craig is miscast.
