Daniel Craig
Daniel Craig
Way back in his pre-Bond days, Daniel Craig caught our attention as Lieutenant Berry , a man with a grudge against Hot Bad Guy Sean Bean and a predilection for whipping countesses, in Sharpe’s Eagle. A tragic wig kept him off Our List then, but nothing is stopping him from making the list as the Nameless Main Character in Layer Cake. In it, he plays a dapper drug dealer and murderer. But perhaps we skip to the ending.
At the start of the film, Mr. Craig’s character gives a cold and calculated view of how best to run a drug business. He also talks about how much he hates guns and violence. Yeah. He gets over that pretty darn quickly. When his friend starts beating a guy to death in front of him, he apparently wanders off to have a cup of tea. When it turns out the guy at the top of his drug dealing heap is an informant, he sneaks all ninja-like into his backyard and kills him. So much for being a Quaker and still a drug dealer, Mr. XXXX. Still, many of his problems are because he was caught in a Bad Situation, one that was certainly beyond his control. He would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids.
Excellent work, Mr. Craig. And we certainly look forward to your upcoming role as Lucifer.
lost a point because he’s way hotter as Bond
he’s caught in a Bad Situation, but he’s still a drug dealer and a murderer
not many men could carry off a shiny burgundy sport coat with that much panache
