Brosnon fit the roll perfectly. Next to connery he was probably the best fit for the roll ever.
There is a reason why there have only been 5 james bond's and why three of them sucked.
Crowe couldn't pull it off, Grant just looks like an ass, and the rest are too young.
Though, out of the list posted, I think Owen is the best choice....
Maybe if enough people complain, Brosnon will stick around for one more movie.....

...Clive Owen is not the new James Bond, despite rampant reports circulating last week that Pierce Brosnan was passing the torch and the babes after doing just one more film. Brosnan hasn't said he's giving up 007. "It's just continued speculation," an exasperated Owen said with a sigh last weekend. "Me becoming the next Bond has become so common that when I read the rumors I even shake my head." His mates are another story. "I had a phone call last week from an old, dear American friend saying, 'You bastard, Clive! You signed for 2 Bond films and you never told me!' I guess it was supposedly confirmed somewhere that I had," Owen said. And now for the truth? "It's all rumor. I read what you read. Let me just tell you that there has never been an official approach from the Bond people toward me. And since that is the case, there is no point in me wasting time thinking about it."
