I can think of an older actor with gravitas whose schedule just opened up pretty significantly

[squirrels_oh_no]

That was my first thought lmao

...and this is what I get for waiting until Succession is finished to watch the show 😒

I knew there'd be someone who didn't know yet that Logan retires and ghosts his family so he can sell coconuts whittled to look like celebrities at Myrtle Beach 😔 but lbr he'd make a great Bond

I appreciate the commitment 😉

I mean, to be fair, the show has finished shooting... everyone on that show is able to do other stuff now. And now I am imagining Tom as Bond lol

Now i want Tom as Bond. Not Matthew Macfayden, Tom Wambsgans.

[fairyfloss_love]

That is why I wrote Tom as well. He has the cooler name as well. My name is Wambsgans.. Tom Wambsgans 😎

I would love him as Bond but god MacFadyen would HATE it.

I’ve just started watching Succession, since everyone is going on about it.

I'm jealous you get to experience it for the first time. Have fun!

[automaticpeople]

Thanks! I only managed 1 and a half eps, before I was interrupted and had to pause it. I think I’ll watch some more tomorrow.

[jojito]

Oh man. I'd love this.
We don't need more action Bond (the Mission Imp franchise does better actions sets anyway). I'd like a master puppet Bond.
