Shaking, not stirring things up

Ushering in a new era of the 007 saga, British born Daniel Craig has been introduced as the new James Bond. Craig, the first blond to ever play Bond, replaces Pierce Brosnan and will appear as the suave spy in next year's Casino Royale.

While Craig may not be a household name he does hold an impressive resume of film and theatre roles (who am I kidding I have no idea who the bloke is, but you can do some research if you want). Other actors who were considered for the high-profile role included Hugh Grant (the 1st would be bumbling Bond), Colin Farrell (most likely Bond to get an STD and/or MoneyPenny knocked up), Ewen McGregor (we don't watch Bond to see male nudity), Hugh Jackman/Heath Ledger/Eric Bana (Wolverine/lame/the Incredible Hulk, respectively, Australian collectively) and my would-be choice Clive Owen. Rupert Everett could not be reached for comment regarding his role as the first fey Bond.
