He was good. There were reviews that even said he is the best james bond ever. However I dont agree to that. I like his eyes. but not his walk!

Personally, I don't think he can hold a candle to Sean Connery or even Pierce Brosnan. Connery was my favorite of all the James Bonds, and I just can't accept Craig as one of them.

I agree Perce Brosnan was too pretty to play James bond. so was Roger Moore. I think it was smart to try daniel craig who is a little more dangerous looking. Who knows if he pulls it off, and who knows if any one can measure up to Seanconnery, but give the guy a chance.

I think it's fair to only compare Craig and Brosnan and not the other Bonds simply because these two movies and the version of the character were most similar.

I think Craig was better, maybe just because this was a better movie than the Brosnan films. Casino Royale took the character from the beginning and showed you why he is how he is. Why he doesn't trust anyone, why he doesn't commit with women, etc. This fiml did a very good job of introducing and getting the audience to like the character. Whereas if you weren't familiar with James Bond in the Brosnan films, you just had to assume he acted the way he did because that was his nature. They forced you to like James instead of giving you the choice, as Casino Royale did.

Daniel Craig did an awsome job in Casino Royale. I think its THE BEST Bond ever. I have seen all 21 bond movies but danny boy is the most convincing bond as i can see. Sean Conery is the legend, i like him, but i should not ignore the fact about Craig

No i dont accept him.He might be suitable for bond girl character because the beach scene where he comes out of the sea and the bond girl stands in the sea shore and sees him.I normal bond film bond film will come out of a sea and bond will see her.It is not the same in casino royale.

DANIEL CRAIG BIOGRAPHY

Born: 11 November 1968
Where: Chester, England
Awards: 1 BAFTA Nomination
Height: 6'
Filmography: Complete List

The world is full of what ifs, what might have beens. Where would we be now if we'd been braver, more loyal to our dreams? Would we be richer? More famous? Happier? Daniel Craig is a fine modern example of how things can turn out for the best. After the uproarious success of the series Our Friends In The North, he was cast by the tabloids as tough northern totty. Stereotyping TV offers came flooding in, lifestyle magazines were constantly knocking at his door. At the very least, he was all set to be the next Jimmy Nail.

Instead, loathing this trivial publicity, he turned down the offers and walked away. With his eyes set on a more glittering prize, he honed his craft in a series of art-house and European productions, entering the mainstream only when a part demanded deep emotional exploration. And eventually, inevitably, his remarkable intensity saw him recognised at the highest levels. First Sam Mendes snapped him up to star alongside Tom Hanks and Paul Newman in Road To Perdition. Then it was the turn of Steven Spielberg. And then came James Bond. Craig's earlier, risky choice bore rich fruit, indeed.

He was born Daniel Wroughton Craig on the 11th of November, 1968, at 41, Liverpool Road, Chester. His father, Tim, was a former merchant seaman turned steel erector (later landlord of the Ring O'Bells in Frodsham, Cheshire), while his mother, Carol Olivia (called Olivia), was a teacher. He had one sister, Lea, older than himself. Olivia had attended Liverpool Art College and won a place at RADA (which she didn't take up), and it was this background that most influenced Daniel after his parents divorced, Olivia taking him and Lea to live in central Liverpool when he was just 4. His mother spent a lot of time at the city's famously left-wing Everyman Theatre, then in its heyday with Bernard Hill, Julie Walters, Willy Russell and Alan Bleasdale strutting their stuff. The young boy would soak in the life onstage and in the Green Room, enjoying the larger-than-life camaraderie. It was this, and seeing these familiar faces on TV, that convinced Craig that he too would become an actor. He now claims this epiphany took place when he was just 6.
When Daniel was 9, the family would move to Hoylake, on the west coast of the Wirrel, looking out over Liverpool Bay. Here, having failed his 11-Plus, he was sent to a tough secondary modern. At Hilbre High School at nearby West Kirby (other former pupils include cyclist Chris Boardman and pop stars The Coral and Orchestral Manoevres In The Dark) he played rugby (he also played for Hoylake Rugby Club), supported the then near-invincible Liverpool FC and joined in with the school's plays, taking the lead in Oliver, Romeo And Juliet and Cinderella. Academically, however, he was not a good student. This is not to say he was disinterested as he reacted well when his mother (who'd get remarried to the artist Max Blond) fed his imagination with literature. Indeed, having received Ted Hughes' Crow on his 10th birthday, he would even sneak into a local girls' grammar school to hear Hughes read selections from his work (he recalls Hughes' voice being a disappointing monotone). It was just that play-acting was all he ever wanted to do, and this meant the "realistic" play-acting of the Everyman. To Craig and his classmates, Shakespeare was a foreign language and classical theatre just upper-class poncing around onstage.

This was not easy for Olivia to accept. Like most mothers, she wanted her son to gain a proper education, particularly as Liverpool in the middle of Margaret Thatcher's reign was a depressing black hole of unemployment and despair. Yet when Daniel had reached 16 and was clearly not up for further studies - he'd left school, tried a foundation course, then chucked it in - she supported him. She applied on his behalf to the National Youth Theatre and sent him to the troupe's Manchester auditions in 1984. And her efforts paid off - he was accepted.

Moving down to London, Craig worked to finance his seasons with the NYT, toiling mostly in restaurant kitchens and as a waiter. These were hard times. He crashed on friends' floors many, many times and was not above renting flats and doing a runner when payments were long overdue. But there were many great moments. His parents watching his proper stage debut as Agamemnon in Troilus And Cressida was one. The NYT tours to Valencia and Moscow, under the guardianship of director Ed Wilson, were also a relief from the constant poverty.

What he really wanted, though, was a place at drama school, and it was not readily forthcoming. At repeated auditions he admits to "failing miserably", but at last he was taken on by the renowned Guildhall School of Music and Drama at the Barbican, being tutored by the Royal Shakespeare Company and Royal Court stalwart Colin McCormack. Here, between 1988 and 1991, he would receive one of the country's finest and harshest thespian educations, and was in good company, his early peers including Rhys Ifans, Ewan McGregor and Alistair McGowan, then later Joseph Fiennes and Damian Lewis.

His career proper would begin very promisingly, being cast, even before leaving the school, in the high-budget movie The Power Of One. This followed the story of an English-speaking orphan in South Africa who's sent to an Afrikaans school. Here he falls foul of a Brit-hating neo-Nazi clique and is bullied mercilessly. Tired of the beatings, when grown he turns to trainer Morgan Freeman and learns to box, his victories making him a symbol of racial unity. Craig would turn up as the former head bully, now a cruel and corrupt officer in the state security force, menacing the hero's girl and generally asking for it big-time. And, of course, this being John Avildsen's anti-apartheid version of his own Rocky, get it he does.
