Which actors and actresses should have appeared in a Bond film?

How about John Hurt.
Bring back Bond!

Good choice.He's been suggested as a possible M(which I agree with). I'll always think of him as Kane,though! :happy spin:

BRIAN BLESSED!!! as M. It would make the scenes where M chews out Bond extremely entertaining if nothing else.

Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, both would have been marvellous in any capacity.

I'll probably get a large disagreement for this but Martin Clunes would be good in a bond film as a potential new M in My opinion, he has the wit, dry humor and like bond he could relate a bit (not the current one of course) or better yet make him a villain (but that might fail since clunes hasn't played a villain before).

Hurt made me think of Ed Harris. Sela Ward is someone I think should have been a Bond girl. maybe in 1987. Which isn't fair nobody says Waken can't come back.

A big "YES!!" on John Hurt.Great actor. He's still in his early 70's and does a lot of movies so he's a maybe?



Hugh Dancy?(a bit pretty, yes, but I've been watching him on the new Hannibal TV show-along with Mads(Mikkelsen) and Gillian Anderson(there's another person that I wouldn't mind seeing, as an ally perhaps?)
Yes woman :)

Ian McShane! what an incredible actor, he'd be one of the best villains.

Ward auditioned for the role of Paris in TND. And EON went with Teri Hatcher...
