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 Los Angeles wondering what they could bring to the role.

Could Greg Grunberg become the Seventh James Bond?

Grunberg’s star has been rising in Hollywood in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Baby Daddy (2012-2017), Heroes (2010-2006) and Alias (2001-2006). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Grunberg now is – what next?

  1. It would clarify that Bond is a rotating identity: If M can be a woman, why can't James Bond be a 58-year-old American?
  2. No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Grunberg.
  3. It would give Greg Grunberg a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
