Fay, what about John Barrowman? Sure, he was raised in the Midwest, but hey, born in Scotland and exceedingly pretty!
(Okay, fine. Perhaps the world is not ready for an openly gay actor to play Bond, but I think he'd be fabulous in the role.)
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.

for a given definition of British which includes all of the British Isles, including the Republic of Ireland, and which could be pretty easily stretched to include anywhere in the Commonwealth.
So, what about Canadian?
Idris Elba's British, Fay. And he played a heroin dealer that I would like to lick all over. And convinced me he was an American, too. Elba as Bond=happy place. Probably wouldn't happen though.
Elba is a great stage actor, too. The BF saw him do Othello and says it was brilliant.
So. Jealous. That probably was amazing.
So, what about Canadian?
You need a funny accent to play Bond, eh?
Paul Gross as James Bond!
Remember, Miss Moneypenny, it only takes an extra second to be courteous.
OMG.
And now I want DueSouthBond AU fic. Because it would be fabulous.
Canadian? Canadian. Hmm. I think I'd have to have an "only if he can do an accent at least as convincing as Alexis Denisof" in there. But if he was hot and Canadian and couldn't do a good accent, I might be convinced.

John Barrowman...aha! The chap in Dr Who, yes?
Haven't seen it. But having checked him out on IMDB, I'm all aboard the Big Gay Scottish James Bond train. Where do I buy a ticket?
Canadian? Canadian.
