What would be like if Cuba Gooding, Jr. plays Bond? Earlier this decade, he was suggested by Roger Moore to replace Pierce as Bond.

Simple no from me.
Mainly because he's American. Not the best actor. Do I really have to...he's just not Bond material really is he.

I disagree, I think he's a very good actor, but that isn't sufficient to make him Bond (though try telling that to the Craig fans).

He won an Oscar for his role in Jerry Maguire.

He's a good actor, I liked him in Boyz N The Hood. Too bad he made a lot of bad career choices this decade.

I agree. But it's not limited to this decade lets not forget this is the same man who made Lightning Jack and Chill Factor

I meant this decade as in he never made one good decision, which can't be said for the 90s.

True. the 90's had some A material for him

I haven't seen Chill Factor but I thought he gave a good performance in Lightning Jack, even if the film itself wasn't that great.
