But Craig was widely praised by critics and former 007’s. Some fans of the secret agent were a little leery about having a blond-haired and blue-eyed Bond and not a tall, dark and handsome iconic character. On OctoMGM and Sony Pictures announced in London that Craig would take over the James Bond series with his first film being 2006’s “Casino Royale.” The action hero wore a tuxedo and a life jacket as he arrived via a Royal Navy speedboat. But he would eventually headline a major franchise – namely, the 007 films. He was first bitten by the acting bug at the age of six, when he made his debut in a primary school production of the musical “Oliver.” As an adult, Craig would initially be hired for supporting roles on the big screen.
British actor Daniel Craig recently appeared on Broadway in “Macbeth” opposite Ruth Negga as his queen.
