...do the ladies find 'him' attractive?

If so, please could you link to a high-resolution version that I can print out and sellotape to my face.

So its Nicolas Cage to be the next Bond #

It really looks like Nicolas Cage. After his showing in Ghost Rider maybe he's up for the challenge, maybe he can redeem himself for the Wicker Man fiasco.

Tut tut... #

Tut tut tut... Any fule kno that Bond resembles Hoagy Carmichael with a scar down one cheek...

""[Bond] reminds me rather of Hoagy Carmichael, but there is something cold and ruthless"."

The Lost Baldwin? #

Looks to me like they've created an image of a lost Baldwin brother. Can Alec Baldwin do a convincing Scottish/American accent?

Cheers, Tony.

Shades of Virtual Light? #

I think that William Gibson first mooted this idea back in 1983 in the novel Virtual Light.

The authorities tracked down missing persons by asking if the person looked like anybody famous.

They then trawled newsites etc to identify sitings of the celeb, thus enabling them to track down the misper fairly quickly.

Could the researchers not have just read the books, and saved themselves the bother?

Nah #

It looks like a very young Christopher Lee.

Looks rather like "Big Brother" #

By Jason Woodrow Posted Tuesday 6th March 2007 16:22 GMT

He reminds me of a younger version of "Big Brother" from the movie adaptation of George Orwell's "1984". License to kill indeed...

I know who that is! #

It's South Africa's favourite supporting actor -- Arnold Vosloo!

Hoagy Carmichael? #

"See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Fleming007impression.jpg"

Looks to me more like Basil Fawlty than Hoagy Carmichael.

Now there's a Bond to dream about. If only they had dumped Roger Moore and picked up John Cleese...
