James Bond instead of Daniel Craig.Appearing on the Acting For Others podcast, the Doctor Who star said he had no idea he was being eyed for the role until recently.Asked if he’d ever been in the running, Tennant said: “I never believed I had, until I worked with a director recently who had worked with the Broccolis who said, ‘Yeah, you were on the list that time.’“I was like, ‘What time? What are you talking about?’ He went, ‘Yeah, the last time.’ I suppose it must have been Daniel Craig, before that I would have been a child.”He added: “I think it was quite a long list and I don’t think I was ever very near the top of it. But apparently so.”The role of 007 went to Daniel Craig in 2006. The actor went on to play the secret agent for 15 years before bowing out in No Time To Die.Earlier this month, producer Michael G.
Kevin Spacey finished testifying on Tuesday in the $40 million sexual misconduct lawsuit brought against the “House of Cards” star by Anthony Rapp. The Oscar-winning actor was cross-examined by Rapp’s attorney Richard Steigman, and remained calm, smirking at points, as he was grilled about his drug use and memories of encountering Rapp in 1986 when they were both appearing in stage productions.

oral arguments in a copyright case on Wednesday, setting up a hypothetical in which he was “a Prince fan, which I was in the ’80s.”That comment prompted liberal Justice Elena Kagan to interject, “No longer?”And Thomas responded to laughter: “So only on a Thursday night.” The case involves a photographer who is suing the Andy Warhol Foundation arguing that the artist, who died in 1987, breached her copyright by using her 1981 portrait of the pop star for a series of images Warhol created for Vanity Fair in 1984. (The magazine had paid photographer Lynn Goldsmith $400 to use her portrait as an “artist’s reference.”) The case could have big implications across media about the “fair use” of existing artistic images and works, and what might be owed to copyright owners from later artists who create follow-on works.
