I already gave a top 5 upthread. I'd be happy with any of the people in it. I don't believe in getting too attached to one candidate, or in ml94's "Top Trumps" approach to casting, whereby a candidate has to be this age, this height, this well-known etc. My problem with Daniel Craig isn't just that he doesn't look the way I imagine Bond to look (though I find that distracting), it's that he seems to be playing a different character to the one that all the previous actors played. There are certain intangible qualities that I look for in a Bond actor that I find more important than a merely statistical approach allows for. You're either James Bond or you're not, and Craig isn't, IMO.

That's was a while back in the thread I forgot. I'm a big Fassenbender as Bond fan. Cavill seems born to play the role but don't see how either could get it with thier current franchises especially Cavill. My top five list seems to be changing everyday.
ML94 you just want Friend to move up my list I agree that Cavill and Fassenbender current franchises make them long shots at best. My next two olout if I were to eliminate Fassnebender and Cavill would be between James Lee-Taylor from the three olives vodka commercials, Sam Riley, Dan Stevens, and Oliver-Jackson Cohen. I think there's a list of 7-10 guys who'd be solid choices.
