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 Ottawa wondering what they could bring to the role.

Could Avan Jogia become the Seventh James Bond?

Jogia’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Victorious (2010-2013) and Rags (2012). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Jogia now is – what next?

Three reasons Avan Jogia 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 34-year-old Canadian?
  2. No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Jogia.
  3. It would give Avan Jogia a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
