If You Imagined A Black Or Hispanic James Bond, Who Would It Be?

[KittyWampus]

how about this guy?



Djimon Hounsou

[DemocratSinceBirth]

1. Wesley Snipes

[DS1]

2. In his own mind, he already is

[bicentennial_baby]

4. ...

:rofl:

bingo. :D

[babylonsister]

3. Taye Diggs, Jimmy Smits. nt

[TroubleMan]

9. Taye Diggs would be excellent

He's great in every role he plays.

[babylonsister]

21. And he's yummy! nt

[AngryAmish]

5. Denzel

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

31. Denzel would absolutely ROCK as Bond.

He has the necessary deadpan, I-don't-give-a-shit-but-with-class demeanor.

[fortyfeetunder]

35. I second that for Denzel

There isn't a Denzel movie I hadn't liked...yet...

[shugah]

36. i third denzel!

someone seconded before me so i am thirding on edit ;-)

[hippywife]

6. In their younger days

I would say Billy Dee Williams or Carl Weathers. I think Antonio Banderas could do it now.

[flvegan]

7. Dwayne Johnson ("The Rock")

I love the idea of hearing James Bond saying, "Can you smeeeeeellllllll what James Bond's got cookin'?"

[bigwillq]

8. He would be the sexiest

James Bond. I love THE ROCK! :evilgrin:

Too bad all I see is RED X :(

[KittyWampus]

20. Dwayne , Rough & Ready. There were prettier pix... but heck...

[bigwillq]

23. ***SWOON****

He's so hot! :evilgrin:

[Z_I_Peevey]

10. Will Smith and Jimmy Smits.

Either could handle the sly humor well. Smits is a little long in the tooth, but still, holy moly that's a good-looking man. (Mr. Smith, also is A Handsome Man.)

[bigwillq]

12. I just watched I, Robot

last night on HBO on Demand--Mr. Smith is RIPPED in that movie. He would be a good choice.

[Doctor_J]

52. Smits for sure

That would be one helluva career span - from The Cisco Kid to Bond...James Bond.

[DanCa]

11. George Lopez (JK) actually I was thinking Freddy Prince Jr for your

2nd question.

[TroubleMan]

13. The guy who played the agent in Serenity would be good: Chiwetel Ejiofor

http://imdb.com/name/nm0252230/

[Flaxbee]

29. he was also in "Dirty Pretty Things" with Audrey Tatou...

he was terrific. Great movie. He'd be a great Bond.

[tjdee]

46. He was excellent in Dirty Pretty Things as well.

Very talented, good choice.

[SOteric]

14. Denzel and Benjamin Bratt

[fudge stripe cookays]

33. Great minds think alike.

:-)

[DrZeeLit]

15. Andy Garcia in a tuxedo at a Monte Carlo casino..... oooooh baby baby n/

Google had a pict of him in a white tux at the Ocean's 11 or 12 premier, but didn't do him justice.




Or..how about Antonio Banderas?


Oh yeah... he's Zorro now, so he can't. Darn....

[khashka]

47. Definitely Andy Garcia

Although in this pic he looks more like a busboy than 007.



Khash.

[DrZeeLit]

51. Yeah, I didn't like the pics from this promo. He can do better! n/t

[NNadir]

16. I don't think the role is classy enough for Don Cheadle.

I can't say I've seen a James Bond movie since Sean Connery, but from what I'd guess, Don Cheadle would overwhelm the role.

But it would be a waste of Don Cheadle's talent.

[MrScorpio]

17. He's in Bond movies already, just move him over... Colin Salmon

[jobycom]

19. Great choice. Too bad he's already in Bond as another character.

[miss_kitty]

24. Oh yeah I was just off to look his name up...

He played opposite Helen Mirren in the second "Prime Suspect" and was her secret lover. Hubba Hubba! He'd make a perfect Bond-no matter the etnicity.

[tjdee]

45. He looks like a black Liev Schreiber...who is also hot.

Colin is gorgeous...and would probably be great.

Here's Liev:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

18. Dave Chappelle.

[TroubleMan]

22. Instead of a martini, he can order a Samuel Jackson

"THEY DESERVE TO DIE AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!!!"

[Starbucks Anarchist]

25. "MMM MMM, BITCH!"

[Ellen Forradalom]

26. A Black James Bond

would really breathe new life into that tired character.

I'd LOVE to see one.

[SIU_Blue]

27. Don Cheadle

That would be sweet!!!

[Guava Jelly]

28. Kieth from six feet under or antonio banderas

this comming from a straight male

[mopinko]

30. second that antonio

hot hot hot.

[AccessGranted]

32. Nick Cannon or John Lequizamo

Maybe

[Deja Q]

34. Will Smith - watch "Enemy of the State" for a semi-template.

I'd prefer the crass humor nixed, ala the Dalton days, but the masses love their humor. But just so long as they give us an intelligent plot - something that's been lacking ever since 1995.

[UncleSepp]

44. Totally agreed.

[Parrcrow]

37. Chef from South Park / Cheech Marin

[BlueIris]

38. My beloved Carlos Bernard would be my first choice.

Best actor ever? No. But "Bond" was never played by any master thespians, if you ask me.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

39. Frida Kahlo

[kittykatkoffeekup]

40. How about a Hispanic female 007?

Salma Hayek

[A-Schwarzenegger]

42. Eh, didn't she play Frida Kahlo?

[AspenRose]

41. Technically, he's biracial, but....Wentworth Miller

he's my fave celeb-du-jour these days.

[Neil Lisst]

43. Denzel, and Antonio Banderas

in answer to your question

[Initech]

48. Samuel L. Jackson

Well, he is a black James Bond. Of sorts.

[hippiechick]

49. This man ...

:loveya:

[tjwmason]

50. Don't care - apart from no bloody American.

I have yet to come across an American who sounded even 2% succesful with any British accent - Bond is British (probably English too).

An interesting one would be a Bond from the Indian sub-continent - this is the largest immigrant group (though it is actually about 5+ distinct groups) in the U.K. - I'm sure that in reality M.I.6 do have a number of such folk working for them.

[arwalden]

53. Redd Foxx

Ha! Just kidding!
