Ian Fleming's original Bond character was a true English gentleman. So it's only fitting that for Quantum of Solace, Bond is played by another true English gentleman - Daniel Craig. Surprisingly, Craig is only the second English actor to have been cast in the role since the first Bond film, Dr. No, was released back in 1962.
