10He Is the Grittiest 007.
The coarser tone of his Bond imbues the character with brilliant depth and intrigue.
The byproduct of this creative decision is that it allows Craigs iteration of 007 to venture into uncharted territory.

Final performances from Bond actors have ranged from being painfully awkward and unintentionally hilarious to underappreciated yet inconclusive.
