Whoever plays Bond kind of gets typecasted into the role. It took a while for Sean Connery to be taken seriously as an actor after Bond. Roger Moore was in his heyday as an actor when he got the role of Bond and for him it did help his career a bit but what has he done since he left the Bond Franchise? For Pierce Brosnan, it's different. He was mostly playing on TV series notably Remington Steel. Bond was a breakthrough role for him. But to rid himself of the Bond image he had to accept roles as the one in The Matador and in Shattered.Daniel Craig is not such a famous actor and I would say that contrary to Gerard Butler, not many people know Daniel Craig unless they've seen him in the first "Lara Croft" movie. What may save Daniel Craig from being typecasted as Bond is the fact that he has accepted roles very different from Bond in between the Bond movies.I prefer seeing Gerard Butler go from from sweet guy (P.S. I Love You!) to psycho vigilante in Law Abiding Citizen. I like his answer. Whoever plays Bond kind of gets typecasted into the role.
