What actor would make the worst Bond-style spy?
I feel like a lot of people would name a comedian because they’d be playing against type, but there have comic actors who came from a background in serious roles.
Hmm.
Huh. Kurt Fuller's more of a character actor, so I didn't even consider him. Kind of why I was ruling out comic actors, too; sort of specialized that way.
I feel like this needs some constraints to get the right result of "worst". Like, no character actors, no comedians turned actors, the kind of actor that would actually slip by executives despite it being a terrible choice, that sort of thing.
I don't know. That's certainly a compelling reason, but Kirk was cheesy machismo, and then there's also TJ Hooker.
I think that there's a very real chance he could make it work, however .. distinctive .. the result .. might be in the end.
Yep. At the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario in the 1950s after Shatner graduated from McGill University, where I got the student center renamed after him.
