[QUOTE="Billnew, post: 68544639, member: 33389"] [URL]http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/01/entertainment/idris-elba-bond-anthony-horowitz-feat/index.html[/URL] I don't know the writer, but I can see what he is saying and it isn't racist in this case. I offer this, I like Vin Diesel as an actor. But I don't think he could play Bond. He is "too street", IMHO to play the sophisticated Bond, James Bond. Maybe there is a sophisticated side to Diesel, but I haven't seen it. I'm not against an AA Bond. If they find the right person to play it. But Bond is "noble elegant" not street tough. Also whoever it is will need a good English accent. I should also say, I don't know the actor either. Maybe he is "nobly sophisticated". I just support "the street" argument not being racist.
