You know, I don’t think we’ve ever seen Ford in anything but a “good guy” role since American Grafitti’s Bob Falfa. I would LOVE to see him be a bad guy, and I think he could pull it off.

What about Alec Baldwin… Bond and his nemesis could out-suave each other…

I agree with:

Sam Neill  
or Ed Harris  
Lucy Lawless  
Frank Langella  
Sean Connery !!!  
Ian McKellan  
Tim Curry  
Russell Crowe  
Gabriel Byrne  
Armand Assante

But how about: Oliver Platt?

Or Steve Buscemi?

Paul Reubens!

I’m still mad that they didn’t cast him as Dr. Smith in that awful “Lost in Space” movie. “Ohh, the pain, the pain!”

I too can go Ukelele Ike one better—I say they start making Bulldog Drummond movies again! Sam Neill as Bulldog, and Wendie Malick as the wise-cracking femme.
