...do the ladies find 'him' attractive?

If so, please could you link to a high-resolution version that I can print out and sellotape to my face.

It really looks like Nicolas Cage. After his showing in Ghost Rider maybe he's up for the challenge, maybe he can redeem himself for the Wicker Man fiasco.

Tut tut tut... Any fule kno that Bond resembles Hoagy Carmichael with a scar down one cheek...

""[Bond] reminds me rather of Hoagy Carmichael, but there is something cold and ruthless"."

Vesper Lynd

Looks to me like they've created an image of a lost Baldwin brother. Can Alec Baldwin do a convincing Scottish/American accent?

Cheers, Tony.

I think that William Gibson first mooted this idea back in 1983 in the novel Virtual Light.

The authorities tracked down missing persons by asking if the person looked like anybody famous.

They then trawled newsites etc to identify sitings of the celeb, thus enabling them to track down the misper fairly quickly.

...Bond looked like Singer Hoagy Carmichael.

...who does look more Connery than Craig.

Could the researchers not have just read the books, and saved themselves the bother?

It looks like a very young Christopher Lee.

He reminds me of a younger version of "Big Brother" from the movie adaptation of George Orwell's "1984". License to kill indeed...

It's South Africa's favourite supporting actor -- Arnold Vosloo!

Looks to me more like Basil Fawlty than Hoagy Carmichael.

Now there's a Bond to dream about. If only they had dumped Roger Moore and picked up John Cleese...

Its a young Chris Sarandon (as he looked in "Princess Bride" or "Fright Night").

Has a resemblance of Dax Sheperd, from Without a Paddle
