Leaked 2005 James Bond audition tapes surface online, showcasing Henry Cavill's impressive performance before Daniel Craig secured the role.
Games Radar reports that several audition tapes, including those of Henry Cavill, Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend, and Anthony Starr, were uploaded to the Ron South 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 ultimately, other executives chose Craig.
Cavill later fulfilled his spy aspirations in the film Argylle, starring alongside a remarkable cast including Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, and Catherine O’Hara. Despite the impressive ensemble, the film received unfavorable reviews, scoring a mere 4/10 on IGN.
Cavill maintains a diverse and successful acting career, notably portraying Superman for DC, Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's The Witcher, and numerous other prominent roles.
