I think that is one of the main differences between those who liked Craig as Bond and those who did not. I cannot see James Bond in those (heavily brushed up, but then all pics are like that nowadays!) and I cannot see James Bond when Daniel Craig appears on telvision and in thousands of magazines - many concerning cakes, finance, etc - as part of another bumper PR campaign to support Craig.
You on the other hand see Fleming's Bond look incarnated in Craig.
He's merely foot shorter than Bond in the novels BJ. Besides, size doesn't matter. Joe Pesci's short but people find him menacing. Alternate favorite Sam Worthington is 5'11''. Does that make him too short?
Favorite Movies: Bullitt, The Long Good Friday, The Towering Inferno, Jaws, Rocky, Superman the Movie, McVicar, Goodfellas, Get Carter, Three Days of the Condor, Butch & Sundance, The Sting, All the Presidents Men

Tough looking handsome man, with movie-star looks. Guess that could also fit the bill for this man, who Craig often gets compared to -

Sorry,but I don't get the appeal of Worthington.Or Cavill for that matter.Nothing to do with height,either.Ha!
to each his/her own though
It must be said that I've put in a good word for Kevin McKidd elsewhere when this discussion has come up.But that's just me.He'd have to dye his hair,obviously.

I dont mean to be cruel to him but on that particular photo he looks as if he has a drug and alcohol problem. I work with people who suffer from addictions and by the look of that photo he reminds of a person who takes smack maybe he like a beer or two or maybe thats not the greatest picture of him in world.
