I mention Peter Bowles because he always seemed to be mentioned whenever the candidates for a new Bond were listed. Although he was mainly mentioned in The Sun newspaper in the 80's!

Re: Peter Bowles
A little too smooth. I can imagine him seducing the ladies, but could you see him in, say the killing of Dent scene from DN?

Re: Peter Bowles
Not sure why katied needed to post that, other than to start an argument.
Maybe we can get back on topic now.

Re: Peter Bowles
I've never read anything linking him to the role seriously. He's good fun in his urbane way but I don't think you'd ever believe that Peter Bowles could beat people up or save the world.

Re: Peter Bowles
I think he used to play villians because he is Hungarian i.e. he looked foreign! But he morphed into a stereotypical English gentleman type, probably because of To The Manor Born.
He'd kill Dent by shoving some cucumber sandwiches down his throat!
