For the most part, Americans respect the idea of English icons in cinema. We don’t try to take the roles that the United Kingdom made famous. Can’t say the same about the UK but alas. So why two very American actors were asked about James Bond…we all asked “Why?”
Recently, two of Hollywood’s top actors were asked about the potential of taking on James Bond. The problem is that one is from Texas and the other is from California and why would any American play that part? An Irishman, a Scotsman, an Australian, and a lot of Brits have taken on Bond but they’re all UK and UK adjacent and we cannot say the same about us Americans. There’s famously a war about it.
