He was cast in the first Lara Croft movie with Angelina Jolie. I didn’t even realize he was in Elizabeth with Cate Blanchette. Wow. Look at him now. He’s on my list of top ten actors. Might even be my number one.
What I find most interesting about Daniel Craig is the progression of a career. A real career. Not an add water get a giant dinosaur sponge type insta-celebrity career like say… the now nearly invisible Paris Hilton. You know, being famous for being famous. Although I have to admit I really enjoyed the Paris for President video during the last election. That was funny.
Writing is kind of like that. A career progresses in increments, yet the occasional author jumps to the front of the line, sometimes for very good reasons, sometimes the reasons aren’t readily apparent.
This is life, boys and girls. Some interesting discussions this week about authors, reviews and how we behave, or don’t.
Kinda feel like we can’t win for losin’ so we might as well take a lesson from Paris and laugh at ourselves.

I love Daniel Craig.
It’s true that craft, talent and experience is what makes an interesting artist.
XXOO Kat
Daniel Craig is yummy.
“I realized something about Daniel Craig.”
He’s crazy about Penny Watson!
Sigh. Wishful thinking.
You’re right…he has chosen some interesting roles.
Thanks for the shout-out….I figure you might as well approach all this insanity with a spot of humor.
I loved him in the Bond where he was trying to get her out of the elevator. I thought he really had gone “bad.” Point = real actor = incremental career.
I couldn’t agree more - slow and steady wins the race. He was also in a Kid in King Arthur’s Court - he certainly has paid his dues!
Yes, Casey - I saw that online, but I haven’t seen the movie. I think I’ll do a Daniel Craig weekend!
Oh, I love him as Bond, Steph. Adore him. He’s such a conflicted Bond.
Hey Penny! I wish he was crazy about me too! But he’s married to Rachel Weisz, who I also love.
Totally yummy, Amber. Hey, saw you quoted - nice quote!
Nailed it, Kat. You always seem to boil things down to the essentials.
Daniel is damn hot. And ditto about his acting abilities.
