By WENNTuesday, May 4, 2010
British actor MARK STRONG is eyeing his next villainous role - he’s eager to play a BOND baddie opposite his pal DANIEL CRAIG.
The Sherlock Holmes star is famed for portraying sinister characters, and kick-started his career on U.K. TV drama Our Friends In The North opposite Craig - who is the godfather of his eldest son.
And Strong would like to reteam with the hunk for a James Bond movie - playing a villain opposite Craig’s 007.
He tells Britain’s The Sun, “I would like to be a Bond villain if it was interesting. I choose every part according to whether I respond to the character. I love the fact that playing the villain is such an honourable profession and it’s been elevated to a particular title in those movies - there’s the Bond girl and the Bond villain.”
