The next Bond must be someone who will be recognized for that role, and not an actor in which whenever you'll see him, will remind you of his previous character in another film.
Take for example (and this is a lame one) If Mike Myers got the role of the next James Bond, to me, all he'll remind of is Austin Powers and not James Bond. So my point again, it has to be someone who's not too overly famous for a particular character in another movie.
