Michael Fassbender came to my attention for the first time in the hugely powerful film 'Hunger' before making a strong impression again in Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglorious Basterds'.
Since playing Lt Archie Hicox in 'Inglorious Basterds' Michael doesn't seem to be able to make a wrong move. Everything he touches turns to gold.
In the latest film 'Shame', currently out on cinema, Michael plays alongside the lovely Carey Mulligan and they are supposedly playing all the right notes. The film is getting rave reviews and will with no doubt be a good challenger for the Oscars.
Not only a good actor but also a classically handsome man, something that leads me to believe that he will surely be up for the James Bond role when it's up for grabs again if he should want it. James Bond with a German/Irish accent. Now that's gonna be interesting...
