Looks a bit like Christian Bale.

Looks a bit like Christian Bale. For one second, I thought it was Rog.

Also, if Lewis Collins had played Bond in the early 1980s he may have gone on to be a big star! His career petered put a bit after the Professionals. He could have made lots of films and US TV shows after Bond.

Actors are always a bit shorter than their listed height I suspect.

Daniel Craig is probably 5'9 in real life.

Daniel Craig is probably 5'9 in real life. Well we know he has to wear lifts in his shoes to look bigger than actresses. They could have solved this problem by casting someone taller.

A Lewis Collins Bond film would have been fantastic. I'm laughing just thinking about it.

Wonder what he does these days. Lives in the United States with his family and has a few business interests. Doesn't seem to act anymore.

He could be in The Expendables. He can't be any older than Sly.

Here's an interesting note in Mr. Collin's imdb page regarding Bond:
After auditioning for the role of James Bond: It would be nice to get back to the original Bond, not the character created by Sean Connery - but the one from the books He's not over-handsome, over-tall. He's about my age and has got my attitudes... I was in Cubby Broccoli's office for five minutes, but it was really over for me in seconds. I have heard since that he doesn't like me. That's unfair. He's expecting another Connery to walk through the door and there are few of them around. I think he's really shut the door on me. He found me too aggressive. I knew it all -- that kind of attitude. Two or three years ago that would be the case, purely because I was nervous and defensive. I felt they were playing the producer bit with fat cigars. When someone walks into their office for the most popular film job in the world, a little actor is bound to put on a few airs. If Cubby couldn't see I was being self-protective I don't have faith in his judgment..
