Leaked 2005 James Bond audition tapes surface online, showcasing Henry Cavill's impressive performance before Daniel Craig secured the role.
Games Radar reports that a collection of these tapes, featuring Cavill alongside Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend, and Anthony Starr, emerged on Ron South's YouTube channel, belonging to an enthusiastic filmmaker.
Cavill's audition has garnered significant attention, with many, including Casino Royale director Martin Campbell, praising his "tremendous" performance. Campbell reportedly favored Cavill, but the final decision favored Craig.
Cavill later fulfilled his spy aspirations in Argylle, a film starring a remarkable ensemble cast including Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, and Catherine O’Hara. Despite this, Argylle received poor critical reception, scoring a mere 4/10 in IGN's review.
Cavill's career continues to thrive, with notable roles as Superman for DC, Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's The Witcher, and numerous other diverse projects.
