Every man, at some point in his life, wishes he could be James Bond. And with the news that Daniel Craig may well be out as 007, there are a whole bunch of actors from London to San Juan wondering what they could bring to the role.

Could Amaury Nolasco become the Seventh James Bond?

Nolasco’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in The Rum Diary (2011), Prison Break (2005-2009) and Transformers (2007). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Nolasco now is – what next?

Three reasons Amaury Nolasco would be good for the James Bond franchise

  1. It would clarify that Bond is a rotating identity: If M can be a woman, why can't James Bond be a 53-year-old Puerto Rican?
  2. No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Nolasco.
  3. It would give Amaury Nolasco a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
