To be sincere, I do not know why any actor would need to be Bond. Dare I say it actually hasn’t helped the careers of any of the actors. You may argue Sean Connery and Daniel Craig, however I reckon they might have achieved the identical heights with out Bond. Connery particularly as “Bond” wasn’t the franchise it’s at this time. Craig’s star was made earlier than On line casino Royale. And his most attention-grabbing work has been exterior of Bond.
Roger Moore by no means actually achieved higher heights after the position. George Lazenby, properly nuff stated. Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan had nice careers however by no means the heights of after they performed Bond. Once more I might argue they might have had related careers with out the position, primarily based on their skills as actors.
The identical goes for Bond villains. Until you might be already a longtime success, it is not actually a assist to your profession.
And for Bond ladies, satirically the Bond ladies might have had higher success after the position than most Bonds.
Being Bond is not the rockship to stardom folks assume it’s. The producers need somebody they will management. Borderline abuse. And exploit. The Bond franchise could be the excellent instance of the Hollywood system of exploitation for revenue.
