Today, Daniel Craig in his James Bond costume is obvious. However, initially, the production of the famous franchise did not have the British in mind at all, and for good reason: it was looking for very young faces, in their twenties, to portray Agent 007 in Casino Royale.
timeRecent interview with RadioTimesCasting director Debbie McWilliams, a key behind-the-scenes figure in the spy saga since she held the position in 1981, explained why she suddenly decided to cast a slightly older actor.
“When we started casting for Casino Royale, there was a slightly different desire”– says the British. “We saw a lot of young actors, but we realized that they didn’t have the maturity, experience and mental capacity to do it all.
“Here, it’s not just about taking on a role, playing James Bond is a big responsibility”Debbie McWilliams continues. Therefore, we decided to reject this idea and start from scratch.
So start from scratch with casting involving actors with more bottles. It’s thirty-something Daniel Craig who hits the jackpot with a run of five feature films spanning fifteen years.
