Pierce Brosnan Backs First Black James Bond Former 007 Pierce Brosnan says black British actor Colin Salmon would make an "outstanding" James Bond, but there is no rush to replace Daniel Craig.
The first black Bond?: British actor Colin Salmon By James Lachno 13 Apr 2013 Pierce Brosnan has suggested that Colin Salmon would be his pick to become the first black James Bond.
The Irish actor, 59, who is about to appear in a Danish romantic comedy called Love Is All You Need, was asked who might replace current 007 Daniel Craig in the film franchise.
He said: "I've always thrown Colin Salmon's name in the mix. He's somebody I have worked with closely over the years. He would be outstanding and I think it would be absolutely essential."
Brosnan played James Bond in four films in the 1990s and 2000s, before Daniel Craig took over as the international man of mystery for Casino Royale in 2006.
Salmon, 50, appeared alongside Brosnan in three James Bond films – Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day – as MI6 Deputy Chief of Staff Charles Robinson. His other film roles include Resident Evil and Alien vs. Predator.

You might not know how common smoking was among elite soldiers and marines in the past, it might still be.
OK. I do see your point. Well taken. :)
Last time I cared what Pierce Brosnan thought was when I...wait a second...I have NEVER cared what he thought.
BTW, a black James Bond wouldn’t bother me. If the guy can play the part and stay true to the character, I say go for it.
Black Scotsman?
Who cares?
I knew a black Scotsman back in the 1980s. A lot of people in the Caribbean have Scots in their family tree.
Wasn’t Idi Amin the “Last King of Scotland”?
Plenty of people who are tired of PC crap. The new Moneypenny is black, isn’t that enough? Maybe we should make the new M a Muslim in a burka as well. We’ll make Bond a bisexual while we’re at it.
Can we start taking black roles and make them white?
The first white Shaft will also have his brother Darrell and his other brother Darrell.
We have got to get Bob Newhart a role in the movie too.
ADD Bond
Rainman Bond
OCD Bond
Bipolar Bond
Food stamps Bond
Brokeback Obama Bond
He’s been in three Bond movies already.
Sorry, I just saw that part in the article. Ignore my previous.
You can call me Glenda.
I favor Jackie Chan for the job. Might have to work on the British accent but he looks fine in a tux.
I recently watched him on youtube in a 1990s 'Robinson Crusoe', it seemed kind of OK but anemic, and then I watched a 1954(?) version, which was much better somehow, more gritty, earthy, realistic, less predictable and cliched and PC, and predictable, and 'washed out'.
Denzel Washington would be a great Bond.
Sigh, another white guilt project. How about a blacksploitation flick and leave the rest of us out of it!
Craig comes off as my favorite Bond. Not as country club as the others. More like a guy that could drown you in a toilet then go sit down and have lunch.
