I think he'd be an incredibly effective Bond. I can just picture it -- he introduces himself as "Bond, James Bond," and then saves the girl, deactivates the laser aimed at the moon, and then drives away in his invisible car while the villains are still doubled over laughing.
Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This, but with more CGI flipping. Uh, yeah I agree, give Orli a call in another ten (twenty) years.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Look how long it took Pierce to be ready.
Oh, I can totally see Orlando being a slick killer spy. That's no problem.
JUST NOT BOND. NO ONE HIS AGE CAN BE BOND, and without having seen the weight he put on for Kingdom of Heaven no one his build can either.
Also maybe a little beautiful.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Yeah, gotta jump on the "Not as Bond" band-wagon.
Bloom is entertaining and all, but...well, it's Special Agent: Cody Banks 3...This Time He's Really British!
Feh.

I love Orlando as much as the next gal, but the next James Bond is gonna be Hugh Jackman. *nods*

Clive Owen.
Okay, I googled because the name wasn't doing anything for me, but yeah... a good choice. If they can't get Jackman. :-P

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Clive Owen.
I don't care for the Bond franchise one way or another, but if Clive Owen's the Bond, you bet your ass I'm gonna be there on the opening night.
Owen may not be considered "smooth" enough, but would bring an interesting edge to the role. I find Pearce Brosnan ultra-suave to the point of torpor, actually.

Art Crawl!!!
Absolutely must be Clive Owen.
If they can get him to do it.

Clive's more like Connery, with the rough. Pierce is more like what Roger Moore could have been, if he hadn't been so busy sucking.
giggles again at the idea of Orlando as ... bwah .. Bond.
