Awesome actor, sadly typecasted


I love his presence and delivery.

Can they use him in more roles as a protagonist and positive guy?

reply

So true.

Just saw him in Murder Mystery 2 basically rehashing his Brothers Grimm character.

Remember seeing him in Body of Lies years ago thinking he was excellent.

I guess at that point he could have been a candidate for Bond if only he wasn't so bald. Sadly for him society has moved on too slowly - I think a bald James Bond may just about be acceptable now but back then it would have been real taboo...

God forbid they cast as Bond a bald actor like say...Sean Connery!

Anyway, Strong looks great with any hair style, if anything he is more versatile than most non bald actors that look weird when shaven.
