Nothing to do with MI6, I would think Brosnan was less Bond than Craig either way. :wink: Thanks for the warm welcome.

Ian Fleming would disagree with you, Brosnan is exactly what Fleming would want.

A few come to mind. The most obvious ones are:

- Pierce Brosnan (particularly in his younger years) - Far too slight, pretty, conceited and smarmy in his manner and appearance. Looks too Mediterranean, not Germanic enough facial-features-wise, and his uninhibited Irish American delivery is inappropriate.
- Henry Cavill - His little charm or screen presence, and couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. Too pretty in appearance
- Sam Worthington - Too boorish and dull.
- Christian Bale - Far too monotone, gloomy and unengaging as an actor.
- Clive Owen - Same as above, though perhaps even more so.

Since when has being "Germanic enough" been a prime qualification for being Bond? Don't answer that, it was a rhetorical question. I know the answer is 2006.

Since that highly quoted sketch was first published, along with when Fleming hinted to Bond having a Scottish-Swiss herritage, likened him to Hoagy Carmichael, and alluded to him being born in Germany.

Far from conclusive, sure. But Craig is closer to the mark, at least physically.
