Am I the only one who thinks that Alexis Denisof would make a great Bond? Granted, he's not as well-known as the other people being considered, but still. He could do 007, no problem.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is anyone on MI-5 suave and 30-ish?
Matthew MacFadyen? He's definitely more shaken than stirred. David Oyelowo -- well, he's not that much better a spy, but there is the whole shirtless factor.

I think AD would be great, but I'm pretty sure they only let Brits play Bond.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think the problem here is that these people are the worst spies evar. Also, I don't think the big movie franchise could get nearly as much Heroic Suffering mileage out of them as a TV series can. Generally speaking, I don't think big movie franchises get anything out of suffering, except what they put their audiences through.

Don't tell that to the Bourne folks.

Don't tell that to the Lazenby folks.

Isn't Brosnan really Irish? Or does that count as "Brit"? (It's like the differences between Great Britain, the UK, and just plain England. Confusing.)

Ah, I knew I'd missed one when I was mentally going through the list. So I guess there's precedent if they decide to go with Bana.
[eta: Irish/English/Scottish/Welsh are all under the "British" umbrella, I'm pretty sure.]

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
So. Pretty.
Worst spy ever!
Wait, he got the actress who plays Zoe pregnant? Huh.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Pffft. As Teppy points out, men who were indeed Brits but decidedly not English have played Bond (the first Bond was a Scot, dammit!), and AD is half-English, or anyhow spent his formative years actually in England.
Not that I think he has a chance in hell of even being considered (though he would rock so very hard at it).
