True, and I understand that he might not like "British" for that reason. I certainly never called him English. He didn't mind being British when he was knighted though.
http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/08/01/1091298561695.html It appears Eric Banadinovich better known as Eric Bana is the new Bond. I don't know if he can pull it off. I'm not that fond of his acting and he looks very Croatian when Bond is supposed to be very British.
I personally hope it would be..............BOKI, bcuz, he stood up to that evil Dr. KARLA malone ! However, he needs 2 get off the bench & work on his British accent! Also, JVG won't let him play ball anyway & he needs another career 2 fall back on.
Casting a black Bond I'd choose Eamonn Walker who played Kareem Said in the tv series 'Oz'. At least he's a born and bred londoner.
