Leaked 2005 James Bond audition tapes surface online, showcasing Henry Cavill's impressive performance. The footage, discovered on the Ron South YouTube channel, also features auditions from Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend, and Anthony Starr.
Games Radar reports that 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 producers selected Daniel Craig for the role.
Cavill later fulfilled his spy aspirations in the film Argylle, starring alongside a remarkable ensemble cast including Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, and Catherine O’Hara. Despite the star-studded lineup, the film received poor critical reception, scoring a mere 4/10 on IGN.
Cavill's career continues to flourish, with notable roles as Superman for DC, Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's The Witcher, and various other projects.
