Sam Worthington - 9 points -1
Henry Cavill - 11 points +1


Really hard to choose between the final two, but I think I like Cavill just that tiny amount more.

Not a hard choice for me Kris. I like Sam Worthington, and I wouldn't spit the dummy if he were cast as Bond #7.
But I'd like to see what other options there were.

I couldn't find any pics of Worthignton in suit. I don't know if the Oscars was a typical look for him, really couldn't find any pics of Cavill in suit either. Even so I'm giving him a bump

I would've posted two piccies of Sam, but it seems he's not a keen suit wearer.
To short and not a fan of suits. Totally unsuitable for Bond then. :twisted:

This one looks like Bond to me.

You'll not find Craig in suit he isn't contractually obligated to wear. Maybe it is a younger generation thing, sneakers and tee shirts. Worthington did look short out there in the Oscars. let me`see


Worthington 5' 10"
Cavill 6' 1"

Ah that explains why Worthington looked so sort. My god what would it be like to have a Bond of decent height!

Great game Kris and as tempted as I was, I'm glad you got to finish it.
A worthy winner I feel in Cavill. Interesting to note that several actors either linked to the role, or actually signed for the role finished so high up the field.
Namely 24. John Gavin, 32. James Brolin and 40. Sean Bean.
You could also put 22.Sam Neill on the list as he was a favourite for TLD before Cubby said no. But Gavin and Brolin were signed to play Bond. Wonder how they would've faired if they actually played James Bond.
We may not have had a dcinb to worry about judging by the ranking they've earned here.

Kudos once again to Kris on holding and creating a tourney with a difference.
:cheers:

I put a small bit about this on the DCINB frontpage.

I still think Lewis Collins should have won. :lol:
