Idris Elba is a TV actor, with no big-screen presence.

We seriously need an unlike button!

@nepia He has never produced a notable performance in a film.

Nah, I disagree, he's been in shit films, but had good performances in them.

Amen to this post Neps. Very good in Rock n Rolla, Prometheus and 28 weeks later among others. Tim has been smoking something.

Bastille Day.

@Tim has a point though, as his best work is in The Wire and Luther.

[Tim]

He's a decent actor, but he doesn't have the presence to carry lead roles in films.

This was Tim's Big Call of the week.

Except that wasn't really Tim's point, if he'd said his best work has been on TV then yeah, I'd agree, but suggesting he has no big screen presence is plainly false.

Hell, he even stands out in Thor where he's just stands around.

Now you can agree with my great point.

He's been mentioned as a possible James Bond. That's pretty good cred

[Tim]

@mn5 It means nothing until he's on screen.

Anyway, he'd be a lousy Bond. Even worse that the current charisma-vacuum.

Yep you're right. Bond is a white guy for starters. Craig is brilliant though.

Clive Owen should've been Bond, and Mike Hodges should've directed the films.

Wrong. Craig brought much needed life into a dying franchise. Casino Royale is one of the best bonds ever.

Ok, clearly I don't have to take anything you say about actors seriously ... Gerard Butler next on your list?

[Bovidae]

Now I agree with @Nepia - Clive Owen has zero personality on screen.

[Tim]

You lot should watch Croupier. He's outstanding in it.

Most of the time he's just bored in movies.

Ferners to have a movie night with......

Well, it's not often that you get two of Tim's Big Calls in one day.
