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 in London wondering what they could bring to the role.

Could Tim Curry become the Seventh James Bond?

Curry’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in The Secret of Moonacre (2008), Charlie's Angels (2000) and The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Curry now is – what next?

  3. It would give Tim Curry a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
