[mohamedishaan]

He looks like a mixture of Christopher Nolan and Draco Malfoy

[muchasgracias]

Wow! Just look at how 'different' Daniel looks back then. He totally shredded himself in order to portray Bond.

[ymatT]

He always had the perfect voice for it.

[wanyekest]

And Casino Royale turned out to be one of the best, if not, the best movie in his tenure.

[seerpou]

it's incredible how they saw it in him even though he really didn't look the part before his transformation. he looked like gareth from the office

[feszty]

I think it was his performance in Layercake that earned him this gig. His nonchalance and the cool way he carries himself gave the movie Bond character something that we only read in the Fleming novels.

[mnmlyt]

Anyone who saw Layer Cake knew he was destine to be the next bond. That little 2004 movie was his real audition (that's why she kept saying "we only wanted him")

[yuliangeorgiev]

Casino Royale was such a great movie. If only they could retain that level in future installments.

[loisahn]

I absolutely loved Daniel Craig's portrayal of James Bond! He nailed it! Even better!

[johnny]

Remember how the press HATED him. "James Blonde" they called him.

[DeusExAstra]

It's amazing how different he looks here from his actual appearance in Casino Royale.

[fokthewef]

People can say whatever they want but this guy made Bond better. Before him bond was a joke. A caricature. When I watched Craig I was immersed in the danger that came with Bond's job.

[PeteNice]

That "I don't really want to be here but I am so duty" vibe works extremely well in this iteration of Bond.

[markandresen]

It's the way he carries himself here - and the voice, which may well have clinched it.

[TheMrSlyxx]

I never really loved a Bond movie till I saw Casino Royale with Daniel Craig. I got through the entire movie and found myself wishing it would just keep on going.

[NalaStitch]

Not a bond fan but he's owned the part and I've seen all of them. Thanks Daniel

[tayfuntuna]

It's noteworthy that he has that Brosnan look at these videos, but he shaped his own Bond down the road.

[rydmerlin]

This was after The Layer Cake and so it was obvious he could do the role.

[TheVideoScientist-bipx]

"They kept trying to get us to meet people"

Yes, I'll take "Introverts with Anxiety" for $400.

[lukeallan]

It's his great physique and unmatched combat acting skills that carried him through the franchise.
