One James Bond Actor Change Could Have Saved Craig-Era Blofeld
One casting change could have led to a far more dynamic version of Ernst Stavro Blofeld for Daniel Craig’s James Bond era. Christoph Waltz took on the role of James Bond’s arch-nemesis in Craig’s last two films, SPECTRE and No Time To Die, following in the footsteps of Blofeld actors like Donald Pleasance, Telly Savalas, and Charles Gray. Waltz was made up to resemble his screen predecessors, even down to Pleasance’s iconic scar and his fluffy cat, with the only twist on the classic formula being the contrived and heavily criticized moment Blofeld was revealed as James Bond’s adoptive brother.
