Paul Giamatti is a force of nature as an actor, as we’ve seen throughout performances like that of his central role in the 2023 movie release The Holdovers. When the man sets his mind to a role, it’s usually a good sign that he’s ready to bring the heat, and it's hard to argue with the results. So when Giamatti recently revealed his idea for playing a villain in the James Bond movies, it appealed to me as a fan of both the actor himself, that franchise and his proposed approach.
