Young James Bond Villains

Imagine they were going to make a series of movies about the childhood lives of the villains in James Bond movies. One actor I feel would be an ideal choice for Emilio Largo in Thunderball would be Pavel Melenchuck. He looks just how I imagine Largo would have looked as a boy.

Who would you cast and which boyhood villain would he be?

Funny idea.

Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of James Bond, so I'm not really familiar enough with the villains to pick one. But I would definitely watch movies about the stories of these childhood villains.

And who would play James Bond as a kid?

My choice for a young James Bond is Skander Keynes

I like the topic... but I certainly wouldn't choose Skander, I'd prefer to begin such an enterprise with actors around the age of 11 or 12 but I honestly can't think of one that really appeals to me that would make a good Bond. Skander is too old IMO. Young Bond would preferably be played by a British kid actor but I can't think of a current one that is 11 or 12.

Looking outside Britain the first that comes to mind is Kodi Smit-McPhee. Although he's not a Brit, it's usually fairly easy for Aussie kids to do a convincing Brit accent, and he's a good actor.

It would be far easier to choose a former boy actor...

I'll have to give the topic some thought..

Four actors that I think would have made a good young Bond:

Max Baldry as he was in Mr Bean Takes A Holiday
Bill Milner from Son of Rambow
Alex Pettyfer from Tom Brown's Schooldays
Christian Bale from Empire of the Sun
