I'm sure most of you have heard this bit of "news."

Scottish actor Rory McCann, who last appeared alongside in "Alexander", is considered to be the top choice of producers. Contrary to most media reports, the producers are looking for a relative unknown take over from Brosnan, and 34-year-old McCann is the current front runner amongst the hopefuls

Story at MI6.co.uk

yeah, I heard about him, think I posted it in the Bond 21 thread. I think the age is already looking good but I'm not so sure about his face though somehow he reminds me of a young Sean

Yes, I guess the producers wanted ot bring back the old days where Sean Connery was Bond. Because he resembles Connery, some fans of his think he'd make a good Bond.

did he already do a resambling job or something?

What do you mean?

A screen test?

Yes, he did reportedly screen-tested for the role. This would contradict previous rumors that other actors were in the front-running for the role, including Jude Law, Clive Owen and Hugh Jackman.

ok Jude Law is so not Bond I hope that Rory guy is more suitable!

actually the name Rory makes me giggle, it's hilarious

I ment something more in the lines of his previous jobs resambling bond or something

oh and evy, grow up
(I always wanted to say that )

All previous Bond actors were themselves relatively unknown to their roles as 007, so McCann could be a perfect candidate for James Bond. At 34 years old, this would be the ideal age for the 'refreshing' Bond actor the producers are looking for.

though bookmakers recently slashed Owen's chances down again

Rory McCann isn't the only person who resembles the young Sean Connery. There are actors such as Clive Owen and Dougray Scott.

I have never heard of him but I just look his picture in imdb and he does look like Sean Connery

Having a good look at Clive Owen at The Oscars the other week, he more resembles George Lazenby than Sean. Never heard of Rory McCann though!

so Clive is still in it then if they go for bond's history

From what i've seen he looks the best of the bunch!

looks or acting ability you mean?

Er, general suitability for the part!

looks it is

Give the guy a chance. That's what I say!

but what if he is as bad as lazenby?

Nobody could be as wooden as Lazenby!

I wouldn't be so sure about everything though, TR

Alright! Rog ain't excatly Oscar material either. But he wasn't bad in LALD and TMWTGG!

oh no, far from... he did a decent role there, though some other movies weren't that up to par imo

Like AVTAK?

along others yes... but I shouldn't judge here since I just don't like the guy at all
