Bond casting team member was worried Daniel Craig wasn’t ‘traditionally handsome’ to play Agent 007

Director Martin Campbell reveals that there were doubts about casting Daniel Craig as James Bond in ‘Casino Royale’ due to his unconventional looks. Campbell, who directed ‘GoldenEye’ with Pierce Brosnan as Bond, was part of the casting team to find Brosnan’s successor.
