Memo To Bond Film Producers: Hire Tywin Lannister, AKA Actor Charles Dance, As Next Bond Villain


In a previous post I commented on the many viewers who thought actor Aidan Turner was a standout among a distinguished and talented older cast in the TV series And Then There Were None, and that he should be considered as the next actor to portray Ian Fleming's iconic character James Bond - http://www.pauldavisoncrime.com/2016/03/the-new-james-bond-aidan-turner-steals.html

Having watched the conclusion of the TV series based on Agatha Christie's mystery novel, I feel even more strongly that Turner should be cast as Bond, and I'd like to also suggest to the Bond film producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson, that they should also consider casting another actor from the cast of And Then There Were None.

Charles Dance, the actor perhaps best known as Tywin Lannister from The Game of Thrones, was excellent as a former judge in the mystery movie and he would be superb as a brilliant and sinister Bond villain.

Dance, seen in the above photo from And Then There Were None, portrayed a minor villain in the Roger Moore-Bond film For Your Eyes Only and he also portrayed Ian Fleming some years ago in the TV film Goldeneye: The Life of Ian Fleming.

He's a fine actor and he would be perfect as a Bond villain up against Aidan Turner (seen in the below photo) as James Bond.


And while we're mining the cast, may I also suggest that actor Sam Neill (seen in the bottom photo from And Then There Were None), who was great in Reilly: Ace of Spies, and once auditioned for the role of James Bond, would now be perfect in the role of Bond's boss, M.

The New James Bond? Aidan Turner Steals The Show In A Suave Tuxedo As 6 Million Viewers In The U.K. Tune In To Watch His Performance In New BBC Drama 'And Then There Were None'


I'm not a fan of Agatha Christie, but I watched part one of And Then There Were None on the Lifetime Channel because of the fine cast of actors, such as Charles Dance, Sam Neill, Miranda Richardson, Toby Stephens and others, as well as the fine reviews the BBC drama received.

One actor in the cast that I was not aware of caught my eye, as he did a good number of other viewers.

Like the many people who commented on his performance via twitter and other social media, I too think Aiden Turner (seen in the above photo) would be an excellent choice to portray Ian Fleming's iconic character James Bond.

I hope the Bond film producers tuned in to the show.
