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 Richard Gere become the Seventh James Bond?
Gere’s star has been rising in Hollywood in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Chicago (2002), Unfaithful (2002) and The Jackal (1997). His commercial appeal is growing, too.
The question for Gere now is – what next?
