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 Lance Gross become the Seventh James Bond?
Gross’s star has been rising in Hollywood in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor (2013) and Tyler Perry's House of Payne (2006-2012). His commercial appeal is growing, too.
The question for Gross now is – what next?
Three reasons Lance Gross would be good for the James Bond franchise

- No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Gross.
- It would give Lance Gross a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
