    Irish Actor or Personality that could play a great Bond Villian?


    Anyone you might think that could do this well?


    I often thought that Michael O'Leary could give it a go?

    Two ways this could go taking the pi55 and saying Fr Dougal.
    Or giving it some serious tought and bringing Daniel Day Lewis out of retirement and if he's not irish enough I think
    Gabriel Byrne would do a serious job also

    Last few Bond villains have been dire. That said, I'd love to see Tom Vaughan-Lawlor give it a go.

    Not enough of an air of menace?


    How about Daniel O'Donnell playing against type, a soft Donegal accent doing dasterdly things from his lair in the mountains?

    Claire Byrne.

    She is trying to destroy the world from the comfort of her back garden shed.

    The opening scene would be her laughing hysterically as she witnesses her evil body guard ( played by Davy Fitz ) throw Miriam O'Callaghan off the 40 ft.

    Willie is more of a henchman than the main villain. Like little Nik Nak in The man With the Golden Gun :pac:

    He could be the dumb 'heavy'.

    Claire Byrne, an icy-hearted b1tch, à la Rosamund Pike, would make a great villain.

    Charles Haughey would have been perfect; he had his own island, a must for all aspiring Bond villains.

    I was about to post him, a touch of a Max Zorin type psychopath to Haughey.

    Michael O’Leary from Ryanair. He is the only one with enough money to do all the bond villan stuff.

    Paul O'Connell would put the fear of god in Bond.

    Gerry Adams could be a decent Bond villain.

    There was a Jackie Chan film where Jackie want up against the 'Ra and Pierce Brosnan's head baddie character was a ringer for Gerry.

    Surely he who cannot be named on Boards.ie would be suitable. Very wealthy, known to have had a murky dealings with the Irish taxpayer, excellent at intimidation.

    always has a driver driving him around
    big fancy house

    wild animal wandering around
    exotic animals keep in his own zoo
    always has a guard dog
    always has a militer adviser on hand
    talks in an almost lost language to keep his plans secret

    Enjoyable fare, but I knew it wasnt based on Gerry cos he was never in the 'Ra.

    Any of the Roman Catholic Bishops or Cardinals based in Ireland that are left out there would make a fine Bond villain. They all must be living underneath some sort of volcano like a bond villain nowadays because 20 years ago you wouldn't go five minutes without seeing one of the hoors somewhere in front of your face.
