John Saxon
I was watching Enter the Dragon recently and John Saxon was quite suave in his day. Do you think he might have made a reasonable Bond?

Re: John Saxon
This would have been around the time that Americans like Burt Reynolds and Adam West were being considered for Bond, though. I still think it's a terrible idea, mind. I wouldn't object if they could do a convincing British accent, but the impression that I get is that the intent was to make Bond into an American.

Re: John Saxon
I'd have liked John Saxon as Bond; he is a cult actor. Although he may be short like Crag he makes up for it by being handsome and charismatic, two qualities Craig lacks.
Bring back Bond!

Re: John Saxon
John Saxon arrived in Hong Kong under the impression he was the star of Enter the Dragon. I suppose he didn't know much about Bruce Lee at the time.
