On Being in a Bond Movie: "Skyfall's one of the greatest action movies of all time. It's amazing. Love Daniel Craig. I would love to be in Bond. Maybe a Bond baddie. You know, my grandfather was in ‘You Only Live Twice'. He was a Bond baddie.

I actually do like him, he's charismatic enough to make movies watchable (unless they're geared towards kiddies). I thought he was a highlight in FAST FIVE and trumped the rest of the cast.
As for him being in a Bond film, I wouldn't mind him being a henchman. It's been awhile since we had a truly prominent (and decent) henchman. I'm sure he'll be a lot better than Rick Yune.

Who'd his grandfather play in YOLT?

Yup, Peter Maivia was also a famous wrestler in his day.

I'm all for a minor villain who can wipe the floor with Bond's ass, unlike Patrice.

I'd say Patrice is the best henchman since GoldenEye, but only by default when you look back at Elvis, Rick Yune, Davidov, Stamper. The series definitely needs a truly iconic henchman for Bond 24.

Tank Dong is the actor's name. And what a name!
I'd have no objections to The Rock being in a Bond flick. And at least he's not so presumptuous to demand that he actually be cast as Bond.

I'd consider him one of the more charismatic and engaging performers conscripted to action films these days, more than happy to see him in a henchman or support role.

He could continue the Bond tradition of villains with some sort of ugly physical disfigurement.
OK granted, most people refer to them as 'tattoos', but ...

Those can be easily edited out...unless his role requires him to have tattoos.

The Rock should be the new Felix Leiter.
Also, is The his actual first name?

He'd fit perfectly into the tradition of physically imposing henchmen. And lets not pretend all of those were performed exclusively by the finest of thesps.

Maybe he should play James Bond. He's got Moore's eyebrow capabilities...

True, but an important component to a great 007 henchman is charisma, which Johnson has. He'd be a big step up after non-entities like Rick Yune.

I think hiring Mr. Rock for the part will finally entice CASINOROYALE to direct.
Hope Babs is reading.

I still want to see Jordan's dream Bond film - Sam Worthington as James Bond with Jennifer Hawkins as a lesbian Bond girl, with the two of them drifting a V8 Maloo ute around the streets of Surfers' Paradise.

Does Bond get smashed off a case of VB (Heineken is for poofs) and get a Southern Cross tattoo on his arse?
