Yeah he definatly can but the thing is i dont think they allow non British actors to play Bond they never have, unless they decide to change that now seeing as they have run out of choices!

I think they just cant be americans!😛

hope Brosnan can do some movies more before they have to chose

Doesn't anyone here remember On Her Majestys Secret Service then?

George Lazenby was an Aussie, and more to the point it didn't work, Hugh Jackman is cool, but more suited to doing a rebirth of Dirty Harry I reckon.

And Australian English, much like American English, bears no resemblance to the language spoken in the UK at all, lets face it the US had to redub Mad Max and even worse The Acid House they had to subtitle for the US market.... so maybe it would be easier to just make Vin Deisel Bond and have it done with (don't get me wrong I am a massive Bond fan, but one day the Hollywood lot will have their way anyway, better sooner rather than later)

Oh he was an Aussie? no wonder they dumped him after one movie heh!!If not Hugh Jackman i dont know who else is able to pull off that role. I like vin diesel but comeone as James Bond!??? Hollywood always wrecks a good thing!Ok not all the time.

I think , as a foregneir (sp) that aussie is very similer to brit english bisedes (sp) he wouldnt sound like an aussie.
Yerss i love brosnan but he is getting old😛 I think he just wants to do 1 more.
not prejudice skule,americans are just not very charming and most suck at doing english accents 😛

dont let 1 bad actor with no charme ruin the rest!

definitly 😉

age is no problem, look at connery he went on nicely 😉

Could people stop confusing the terms "England" "Britain" and "the UK" please? They are three different things!

There has only been one English Bond actor and that was Moore. Connery was Scottish, Lazenby Australian, Dalton Welsh and Brosnan is Irish. ALL of them have done perfectly convincing cultured English accents so as long as the person can pull of the Bond persona it doesn't matter WHERE he is from.

the UK 😛

yeh. thats what i mean.

Pierce Brosnan is not from the UK.

he is from that big island across the channel, lazenby wasn't that's the problem

Lazenby was fine as Bond, and was no more far from being English than Brosnan is. And there is more then one island across the channel.

This view that a Bond actor must be English is ludicrous.

Sorry i thought all those consist of Great Britain. i was under the impression Bond would only be played by an actor from Great Britain (not knowing lazenby was aussie) Anyways hows about Harrison Ford as Bond!! Sorry just thought i would throw that out there for fun.

Like I just said, Pierce Brosnan is not British either.

Ford... well, why not? If he could do it.
