Casting Director Says Casting A 20-Something James Bond Won’t Fly

We still aren’t any closer to finding out who will don the James Bond tux vacated by Daniel Craig. We do know, however, that whoever does take on the role won’t be in his 20s. Casting director Debbie McWilliams says she’s been “casting the franchise for decades,” and “younger actors don’t have the ‘gravitas’ required to play the superspy for multiple films.” Piling on, McWilliams called upon her pre-Craig casting experience” where candidates “didn’t have the experience…or mental capacity to take it on.”
