HAPPY BIRTHDAY to DANIEL CRAIG
CASINO ROYALE

| Daniel Craig 007 Casino Royale |
"Craig is the first proper bleeder, standing in front of a bathroom mirror and contemplating his own downpour. (Look how he swallows a Scotch to numb the hurt, and then try to imagine the Roger Moore equivalent - the pensive sip, the appreciative smile at the distiller’s art.)"
"The only thing triumphant about Casino Royale is Craig’s performance. He brings to the role sex appeal, sadism and athleticism. (Though he doesn’t look to me like a man who drinks martinis.) Craig actually looks like Gollum’s younger brother, and he charges around like the Terminator."
Cosmo Landesman in The Sunday Times (2006)"Craig has both a nasty streak and a soft side never before seen in the series; Fleming would recognise him as most like his literary creation: damaged goods in a tailored tux."
Robert Wilonsky in The Village Voice (2006) "Daniel Craig was meant to usher in a new iconoclastic era of 007 film-making, with invisible cars replaced by punching, and smart-alec one-liners replaced by punching, and nice tuxedos replaced by silly blue swimming trunks (and punching)."

| Daniel Craig Quantum of Solace |
"It doesn’t help Craig is a rather unsensual actor: he looks much more at ease leaping off balconies than he does leaping into bed."
"Craig, unlike his Bondian forebears, so much debonair as he is dour. But it’s dourness with charisma, muscular dourness, more than a quantum of dourness."
Steven Rea in The Philadelphia Inquirer (2008) "Craig is the scrappiest of all Bonds, but he’s also the most tender ... Even in his trimmest tux, Craig walks with the purposefulness of a stocky tomcat."
Stephanie Zacharek on Salon.com (2008) "For all his bruising stuntwork - Craig is less Steve McQueen in The Great Escape and more Postman Pat heading for Greendale when it comes to motorcycles."
Tim Evans on MoviesSky.com (2008) All the above quotations were taken from
