Daniel Craig | Born in 1968

Many believed Craig was over after Spectre. His own words said it all when he admitted he was fatigued from donning the renowned tuxedo. However, with the release date set for the franchise’s 25th film, Craig is back.

When he was six years old, he caught the acting bug and was soon performing in school plays, credits to his mother’s encouragement. Craig got his start in Hollywood with supporting roles in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and the critically praised Road To Perdition. Two years later, he starred in the critically praised gangster film Layer Cake. His significant acting experience helped him catch the attention of the Bond franchise creators, who were looking for a new 007 for Casino Royale. While starring roles in The Jacket and Munich had begun to solidify his rising star status, the position as James Bond signaled a new beginning on the A-list for the largely unknown actor.
