Former JAMES BOND star ROGER MOORE insists it doesn't take a "good actor" to
play the world's most famous secret agent.
Moore - who played the suave superspy in the early 1980s - insists criticism
of the decision to cast DANIEL CRAIG as 007 was harsh, because the role doesn't
require much talent.
He says, "I am a great defender of Daniel Craig. He's a good actor. People
have been so beastly, he's not even had a chance.
"Not that you have to be a good actor... you just have to be able to say, 'My
name's Bond, James Bond'
But despite offering his support to Craig, the 79-year-old actor isn't
looking forward to Casino Royale's cinema release later this month (17NOV06).
He says, "The other thing that happens when a new Bond film opens is that I
get bad reviews.
"The critics say, 'Thank God, he - whoever he is - wasn't like Roger Moore'."

Daniel Craig was positivly smashing basil, as the new James Bond, i drank seven cups o' tea while viewing this spectacular film! His sexy body and his humerous puns made my day :) i only wish i saw a little more of him, if you know were im getting at hehehehe. I just loved the part in which he had to hook up the defubulater and nearly dies, then he comes back to the poker game and says " that hand nearly killed me" haha i couldn't contain myself truly an honer watchin him.
russell moore signing out!
Daniel Craig is spectacular as the new Bond. He definately has the charm, charisma and wit. Usually I'n not too fond of action films, but I was captivated from beginning to end. The plot is excellent.
The bond world is going in to chaos..They should take a break, and find an actor who can stand for 10 years or something. Daniel Craig is a good one, but i hate when they change the actor out in no time.
I don't blame Moore for dreading a new Bond film and all the criticism he gets for his potrayal. He was the worst Bond yet. He played him as a fancy pants Dandy with wierd homosexual overtones that completely misrepresented the character. Craig on the other hand has recaptured Bond's maleness, his rough, rude, chavanistic side, as well as his downright dark side. It's something that got lost somewhere between Connery and Brosnan. Brosnan almost pulled it off and in fact was quite believable as Bond, but it was that darkness that was missing that made him fall just short of the mark. I hope Craig will consent to making at least one more if it's offered to him.
