Subject: UK bookies place odds on Bond
Here are the odds and how I think of the actor as Bond

* Ewan McGregor - 9-4 [It'd be cool, but bond is a womenizer, a mans man, and I haven't seen Ewan in a role that would make me belive him. He's a lover, not a secret agent sex machine. I could be wrong. I'll make him my third favorite prospect]

* Dougray Scott - 9-2 [I'm not a big fan, from what I've seen of him he looks like a heel, for those of you not in the know that means villian. However, the fact that he is not known is a plus.. Bond's typically are picked from obscurity into greatness]

* Jude Law - 8-1 [I don't see it. He's a wormy guy. Not bond material. Maybe my opinion will change after SkyCaptin, but I doubt it.]

* Clive Owen - 6-1 [Hell yeah! He's my favorite on this list. Watch The Hire", and you'll think you ARE watching Bond already.]

* Hugh Jackman - 7-1 [I don't know... He's typically plays angry characters. Not cool like Bond]

* Colin Farrell - 7-1 [Not as bad as I wish. My only complaint is he's not as perfect an actor as a bond should be. Plus he isn't suave often]

* Eric Bana - 9-1 [Too cold, Bond is suave, not menacing]

* Orlando Bloom - 10-1 [To young, isn't he on the cover of Teen Magizine this month. Maybe in 10 years he'd be perfect, but not now]

* Chris Feeney - 10-1 [Who? IMDB doesn't even have this guy. It's probably a typo. They probably meant Jason Statham (who would be my fifth pick)]

* Rupert Everett - 20-1 [Possibly my number 2 pick. Suave, but I don't see enough strength behind it.]

* Hugh Grant - 20-1 [Same as above but worse. I couldn't even picture him owning a gun, let alone shooting it at a Commie.]

* Russell Crow - 25-1 [To big, a P90 would look like a toy if he held it. You might as well hire the Ape from Mighty Joe Young, plus he is way too big an American Star]

* Robbie Williams - 100-1 [where exactly has he been? Oh yeah.. fucking Christina Augillera. Decent pick though. I give him my fourth pick]

* Eminem - 100-1 [This is a joke right. I mean he could be a secret agent someday maybe, but not British, and deffinatly not Bond]

To recap my top 5

1) Clive Owen
2) Rupert Everett
3) Ewan McGregor
4) Robbie Williams
5) Jason Statham

Woo! Ewan!

Clive is a good one though.

You don't know Bond like I know Bond. Ewan is great, just not as 007.

What about him? Seriously though he is way to dark to be JB.

He doesn't have to be full of darkness and badassery all the time. Hell, he was in Little Women!
