Huge gamer for starters. Pretty much played all day yesterday :/.... Which is pretty sad but hey ho lol. I'd rather that than watching TV.

Collecting comics is another.

Roleplay & cosplay. Love cons!

Does old school prog rock count? lol

Least Bankable British Actors
https://www.metro.news/daniel-day-lewis ... it/837256/

HE MAY have Moneypenny on his side — but Daniel Craig is no moneyspinner for Hollywood film producers.

The James Bond actor, 49, has emerged as one of the least bankable British stars in Hollywood, while Oscar-winner Daniel Day-Lewis is the most profitable.

For every pound spent on Craig’s blockbuster films — such as Spectre, which cost an estimated £185million to make — he brings in 94 cents (71p) from American audiences, according to research calculating which Brits provide the most value for money.

1. Charlie Hunnam: $0.35

2. Albert Finney: $0.84

3. Daniel Craig: $0.94

4. Henry Cavill: $1.00

5. Pierce Brosnan: $1.07

6. Ian McKellen: $1.10

7. Gary Oldman: $1.16

8. Jude Law: $1.22

9. Anthony Hopkins: $1.26

10. Bill Nighy: $1.27

Spectre was not a big earner here, so no surprises. Plus he doesn't make that many films, so not sure what the ratio here is compared to say Pierce Brosnan who is never away from the camera.

Right and the world isn't only the US.
The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..

BTW,
I know, Daniel can do what he wants and he can do it how he wants.
But now, where is Daniel? He seems to be invisible.
What new project (except Bond 25) is maybe upcoming?
This makes it really hard for us, IMO. I also think, esp. in the movie/theater-business it is good to have your name around...
(But I also think, for Daniel it is just great...beeing undercover :wink: .)

IMO, he is doing a lot, that doesn't necessarily keep his career going. I think, doing what he want, when he wants and how he wants to do things is more important to him. Sometimes I think, he is overdoing it. BTW, did Kings ever play in theaters?

It's currently scheduled for release at the end of the first quarter of 2018.

That would put it in direct competition with 'Disobedience' in some markets.
