10 Actors Who Are Better Choice For James Bond Than Tom Hardy

10. Noel Clarke

Fans of the rebooted Doctor Who back in its early days will likely remember Noel as Mickey. He made an instant impression on audiences, and although his character faded from the show, he always felt like a meaningful presence.

Post Who Clarke went on to work towards setting his image in a grittier sense starring in projects such as Brotherhood and Bulletproof. The talented performer has made it clear that he can operate very well as a threatening force and easily take a leading role in an action-oriented series.

While Bond is quite far removed from what Clarke has been working on recently, that could work very reasonably in his favour. To don the suit and put on a more sophisticated persona, Clarke would be utterly transformative from the image he has forged. Despite how distant the energy of 007 is to him, he is an incredibly gifted actor and thus should prove successful.

Finally, his status in the industry is well respected, but he is not known to be a leading man in film. This would mean that Bond could remain synonymous with the actor and not the other way around.
