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

Damian Lewis has proven throughout his career that he is the master of stoic charisma. His face remains intense and still in almost every role he plays, and further from that this energy has always given him a fierce presence which quickly draws audiences into his characters.

This is a charm that the Bond could utilise well.

The well-respected actor's position in shows like Homeland and Band of Brothers demonstrates how capable he is as a physically intimidating presence. Whilst remaining calm and collected, Damian can also present a severe drive to achieve the goals that his characters intend to achieve, and this combination of determination and effortlessness is perfect for Bond.

Audiences will likely recognise him but not enough to overshadow the prestige of the character, and this would be the perfect balance needed to ensure that the titular hero of the series is not lost behind immense star power.
