[TV] The best James Bond that never was

[marlowe]

Terence Stamp
Played the sidekick in 60s spy romp Modesty Blaise and had the right credentials to make the transition to the role of Bond ...

Edward Fox

Oliver Tobias

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Larry Grayson

I’d thought Julian Clary.

I read that Stewart Granger was first choice to play Bond.

I didn't know that . My mother was a massive film buff an knew all the Hollywood and UK Film Industry gossip

I know that Stewart Granger's wife missed out on some of Hollywood's biggest parts because she wouldn't audition for them on the proverbial " casting couch " and that's because she was totally devoted to Stewart Granger at the time.

Maybe Stewart Granger wouldn't get on the " casting couch " either

Yes ,Julien Clary would have been a perfect replacement for when Larry sadly passed away in 1995 for the 007 role

They don't open if I click on the links, I just get this notification...

I’m going to go with Michael Crawford.

Why his quite staggering performance as the lead in Condorman never landed him the role, we’ll never know. He’ll probably take that secret to his grave.
