The Le Chiffre actor almost lost the job and he explained what exactly happened. But one small mistake almost resulted in the script being available to the public before the casting process was even done.
Seeing Mads career balloon after the success of the film also suggest the importance of role in his career. Obviously a Bond villain is as coveted role as the role of James Bond. And a lot of the credit for the success of the film has to be given to an engaging and terrifying villain played by Mads Mikkelsen. The film was massively successful and helped revive the franchise after a few bad Pierce Brosnan movies. Well, we all know how the whole thing turned out, this is still an interesting and funny story.Ĭasino Royale was our introduction to the new James Bond with Daniel Craig taking over the coveted role. Before the actor came on board, he was given a script to prepare for the audition and during a plane ride Mads almost blew his chance to appear in the film.
Mads Mikkelsen was an unknown actor to the Western world before he was hired to appear as Le Chiffre in Casino Royale.
