Daniel Craig to be officially announced as James Bond 007 #6 at noon on Friday, London

13-Oct-2005 • Casino Royale

British actor Daniel Craig will be officially announced as the sixth James Bond 007 tomorrow at noon in London, UK.

The 37 year-old actor will replace Pierce Brosnan, who appeared in four films as 007 ("GoldenEye" - 1995, "Tomorrow Never Dies" - 1997, "The World Is Not Enough" - 1999" and "Die Another Day" - 2002).

Craig was born in 1968 in Chester, England, but grew up in Liverpool before moving to London and studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.



He can be seen next in Steven Spielberg's "Munich", a film based on the true story of the terrorist attacks at the 1972 Olympics. Before he starts shooting his first James Bond film, "Casino Royale" in January 2006, Craig is filming "Have You Heard?" and "The Visiting".
