Colin Salmon talks about Brosnan tipping him for 007 - `It is the ultimate accolade!`

The London Evening Standard recently caught up with Colin Salmon, who played MI6 aide Charles Robinson in "Tomorrow Never Dies", "The World Is Not Enough" and "Die Another Day".

Following the hints from Brosnan that he would be an ideal candidate to eventually take over the role of 007, the paper quizzed him about his chances:

"What can I say? Its the ultimate accolade. There are some great candidates out there, but Pierce has watched me do five or six screen tests, and he knows I can do it".

Salmon`s next film project will be "Alien vs Predator", which is due to commence filming at a studio in Prague, in the the Czech Republic, wrapping in February 2004.

The paper claims he will also reprise his role as Robinson in Bond 21.
