James Norton (actor)
Person
Born
James Norton is the English actor whose range runs from Grantchester's Sidney Chambers to Happy Valley's Tommy Lee Royce and McMafia's Alex Godman. The attraction for Bond is that distance between reassuring charm and genuine menace. McMafia shows how comfortably he can inhabit expensive, international surroundings, while Happy Valley proves he can unsettle an audience. A familiar name in years of Bond speculation, he could make 007's courtesy feel like a very thin cover for something lethal.
