Martin Campbell havde i starten sin tvivl om Daniel Craig som James Bond

Mere end 15 år senere kan man vist roligt konstatere, at Craig var et fornuftigt valg, der leverede en unik fortolkning af agenten.

I over 15 år spillede Daniel Craig den verdenskendte agent 007. Skuespilleren medvirkede i fem film, af hvilke Casino Royale var den første. Lige nu er der meget spekulation omkring, hvem der skal overtage rollen fra Craig, og det var også en stor og svær beslutning, dengang Craig blev valgt til rollen. Instruktøren af Casino Royale, Martin Campbell, indrømmer i et nyligt interview, at han havde sin tvivl om Daniel Craig som James Bond på grund af hans udseende:

"My only reticence with Daniel... he was really a superb actor, there's no doubt about that... it was the fact that with people like Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan was that they were all traditional looking Bonds. All handsome guys, all sexy, all very attractive to women and so forth."

Han uddyber:

"Daniel was obviously tougher and ruggeder, but he wasn't a traditional handsome guy. So I just thought about that for a minute and apart from that, absolutely it was always him."

Synes du, Daniel Craig var et godt valg til rollen som James Bond?
