    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.

    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.

    He could be the dumb 'heavy'.

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

    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.

    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.
