Daniel Craig is hailed as one of the finest actors of his generation on stage, screen and television.   Craig will next be seen in the critically acclaimed film No Time To Die from Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures, which will be released only in theaters on October 8th. Since his casting as James Bond, Craig has played the role in four films, No Time To Die marks his last time portraying the famous character. His other Bond films are Casino Royale, Quantum Solace, Skyfall and Spectre.

Craig was most recently seen in Rian Johnson’s hugely successful film, Knives Out. A whodunit contemporary murder mystery, Daniel starred as “Benoit Blanc” alongside Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Chris Evans and Toni Colette. Craig’s standout performance earned him a Golden Globe Award nomination. He will reprise his role for the sequel alongside a stellar cast including Kathryn Hahn, Dave Bautista, Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, and Jessica Henwick.

Craig’s other film credits include The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Road to Perdition, Logan Lucky, Enduring Love, The Mother,  Love and RageObsession, The Power of One, Layer Cake, Infamous and Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-nominated film Munich.
Craig is also an accomplished stage actor and in 2013 starred in the critically-acclaimed Broadway show Betrayal, in which he starred opposite Rafe Spall and Rachel Weisz. Directed by Mike Nichols, the play ran for 14 weeks and grossed $17.5 million. Daniel’s most recent theatre venture was the off-Broadway production of Othello, alongside David Oyelowo and directed by Sam Gold, at the New York Theatre in Autumn 2016

In 2009 Craig starred in a twelve-week Broadway run of A Steady Rain.  Craig played opposite Hugh Jackman in this contemporary American play. Craig’s other theatre credits include leading roles in Hurlyburly with the Peter Hall Company at the Old Vic, Angels in America at The National Theatre and A Number at the Royal Court alongside Michael Gambon.
