Julian McMahon is an interesting choice. His first real film role will be f4, and it's the film is said to be a big risk. Most people know him from his roles on Charmed, and the critically acclaimed (i've always wanted to say that) Nip/Tuck. I've watched Nip/Tuck from the beginning, and I am a big fan of the show's writing, directing, and acting. I think that someone like Julian McMahon would need to establish himself in a Bond like role before he could win my vote for Bond, though. Look at Pierce, Moore, Lazenby, and Dalton. All of thse actors played Bond like roles before getting their licence to kill. Brosnan had Rmington Steele, The Heist, Death Train, and Night Watch. Moore had The Saint. Lazenby had Espionage in Tangier. Dalton had Permission to Kill. Seems tha anyone gunning for the role has about a year to get into a spy role. I'm going to try!
