Casting of Fleming

Number24

I'm watching Calvin Dyson's vlog on the TV show Fleming. He is very critical of the casting of Domenic Cooper as Ian Fleming. what do you think? Who do you think could play Ian Fleming? any thoughts on the other cast members?

Here is a suggestion from me: Jonathan Rhys Myers

Eddie Redmayne was mentioned ...

Ian Fleming to play Ian Fleming, he can't be matched, he can't be beaten and he can't be imitated. One of a kind, if there is such a thing, why can't they just make a documentary...

He might be a bit old now but I always thought Richard E Grant would've made a great Fleming.

You're right, Richard E Grant would have been a great Ian Fleming 20-30 years ago )

So was Charles Dance:

I'd definitely accept Eddie Redmayne. Unless you are an utterly exceptional actor, you need a public school boy to convincingly portray a public school boy...the affectations, the confidence, the mannerisms, the general manner. An Old Etonian portraying an Old Etonian! Redmayne also has those peculiar looks that are not classically attractive but which many women find attractive, like Fleming.

Of course, if accuracy is of no interest, Dominic Cooper works fine

Well, accuracy is certainly of no interest to the scriptwriters of that series....
