you might recognize him from the british geezah film, layer cake (if you've heard of it, much less ever seen it)
i think it was a good pick, i think pierce brosnan is the idealized bond but the film projects (with the exception of goldeneye) were all complete garbage. its far too early to speculate about the newest bond film: casino royale, but its suggested to be far grittier, which is what i've been waiting for producers to wake up and do. its the story of how james bond comes to be, the batman begin's of james bond.
