10 Actors Who Are Better Choice For James Bond Than Tom Hardy
6. Paapa Essiedu
Casting an actor like Paapa Essiedu would be rather unexpected, however he would make a very viable candidate for the role. Paapa is mostly known for his work with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Although he has made some appearances on TV, in shows such as I May Destroy You and Gangs of London, he is almost entirely unknown to audiences.
Those familiar with his theatre work know that Paapa is an effortlessly charming performer, who brings a unique identity to every role that he undertakes. His manner of speaking and ability to hold himself physically cast him instantly in the light of a person who is confident and charismatic, two traits that are fantastic for 007.
His position as a lesser-known actor would also mean that the studio could create Bond from the ground up, working on the image of the character based on what they do and not who they cast. People are going to see Bond films no matter who plays the role, so choosing someone with an extensive profile is not essential.
