Almost everyone's 'racist' to some extent.

Yeah. I think everything can be measured on a slidely scale.

Skull measurements.

The author Ian Fleming maybe? Pretty sure he described him as being blue eyed, blonde hair and was the son of a Scottish Laird. I like Idris Elba and think he's an awesome actor, but they didn't ask Daniel Craig to play Nelson Mandela, now did they?

If they want a Black MI6 agent, they should just create a new character, 008 and run a parallel storyline like they did with the Bourne franchise.

Grey eyes, black hair with a 'comma' of hair dropping above one eye.

Wrong forum. You need Health Matters....

You lot are all bigots by predictably assuming Bond is human- when there are loads of members of the animal kingdom who could play the role better than Daniel Craig.

I don't think I could ever watch another 007 film again if that Idris Elba bloke got to play Bond.

[popeyewhite]

He would be playing Idris Elba, not Bond.

Why? He's good in that Luther and has a very cool car in it and he was legendary in The Wire.

Is it just because he is black?

Rowan Atkinson is good as Mr Bean.... does not mean he would be a good James Bond. (Plus RA has some cool cars too)

You could have a black actor to play Bond, Elba aint the man though imho

Why, he's tall, well built, handsome, has an arrogant charm.

Rowan Atkinson would be a st Bond, agreed, he even did two films about being a st bond because he's non of those things.

You've not explained yourself well at all.

The next bond will be.......(sticking my neck out).

Tom Hiddlestone.

If he is, what do I win ?

Should have never gone to Hull, his career's really bombed since he left Spurs.

[PositronicRay]

How about that bloke who was photo'd with the Hijacker?

No. It's because I can't stand him.

I think he's dreadful as an actor, however I know opinions on this may vary.

I also think he's constantly stirring the 'next Bond' thing and making out like people keep saying he should be the next Bond... When they probably aren't.

OK, clearly my approach is too subtle for you, so I will try again. Not all actors can play all parts well. Acting style, demeanour, accent, mannerisms and many other factors play their part in determining whether an actor is "right" for a role. It"s one of the reasons why there are casting professionals in the industry.
Not being "right" to play a certain part does not make an actor a bad actor, it just means that he/she is not credible in the role. Elba is a fine actor (although I really hated him in Pacific Rim) but in my view he is not right for Bond. And no, it is not cos he is black.

You must explain yourself better to Fred the racist PH policeman. Next time he goes straight to racist, please give a fuller explanation to satisfy him and leave him in no doubt. Thanks
