Editor's Take:

Daniel Craig reinvented James Bond for the twenty-first century. He grew up in Liverpool and the Wirral and trained at the Guildhall School in London. Roles in Our Friends in the North and Layer Cake earned him attention. His casting as Bond in 2005 was attacked by some fans. Casino Royale silenced them, showing a tougher, more wounded 007. He played Bond five times, ending with No Time to Die. He then played the detective Benoit Blanc in Knives Out. He earned a Golden Globe nomination for Queer.

Daniel Wroughton Craig ( CRAYG; born 2 March 1968) is an English actor. He gained international fame by playing the fictional secret agent James Bond in the films Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012), Spectre (2015) and No Time to Die (2021).
