[Barbara] Broccoli insists it was his [Daniel Craig’s] performance as Jesuit priest John Ballard in Shekhar Kapur’s 1998 period drama “Elizabeth” that convinced her Craig was the one. “I remember thinking, ‘Oh my God, he’s the guy,’ when he was in Elizabeth, walking down that corridor. I know that sounds crazy, but that was the moment I felt it in my gut. When your whole life is James Bond, some part of you is always looking for, ‘Who could play the role? Daniel just eats up the screen. He’s truly a remarkable actor.”

Barbara Broccoli on what first made her think Daniel Craig could play James Bond in “Being Bond” (p. 28-30)
