Live Poll: 2020s-2030s James Bond
James Bond must be a British male to be true to Ian Fleming's character and in his 30s to allow the franchise to develop. Who do you think should be chosen?

If any one could propose some black actor it would be nice to have such diversity.
But Idris Elba and Colin Salmon who would be great, are not in the right age. Please no kid faces like Daniel Kaluuya or John Boyega.

stermix,
For you consideration:
As a reminder, polls are limited to 35 choices. I'm suggesting more choices than you can use. Please choose the ones (if any) that come closest to your ideal James Bond. I provided the searches in case you wish to review the results. The actors I'm suggested tend to have the Bond look. I've also tried to include non-Caucasian actors.

Thanks to Dan Dassow's help, the list is full. Any big objection anybody? Any last proposal?
Since the list is full, any new proposal must be joined with a seirious objection for one of the 35 present. What could the objection be? Not sure. Maybe a mistake in age or origin? too short? or too tall (in comparison to previous Bonds)? or an offensive political comment in social network?

We tend to forget it but James Bond was almost always played by lesser-known actors. I think that a good poll should also reflect that. The only exception to that rule was Daniel Craig who was kind of popular after playing in Layer Cake.
Therefore, I would remove Henry Cavil, Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson, Tom Hiddleston, and Kit Harington.
I also think that Taron Egerton, Kit Harington, Tim Pocock, and Jack O'Connell are too short for the role. Daniel Craig is 1.78 m and he is the shortest bond. I don't see James Bond being shorter than 5'10".

2 relatively unknown (I have never seen them playing) Tom Cullen, Max Brown got in at the expense of established Nicholas Hoult, Robert Pattinson. They look tall enough and in good shape. Tom really has it. Has anyone watched them in anything?
