He was the ticket taker.....
I agree.
Craig completely transformed the James Bond character arc with that film.
I enjoyed Sean Connery, but I completely lost interest in the Bond films after he left the franchise.
Curiously, the first time I even noticed Daniel Craig was in a Lara Croft film I saw on TV, just a few weeks before the first Casino Royale ads starting showing up.
I first saw him in Layer Cake. I saw the Lara Croft flick many years after release on tv.
