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. While Campbell reportedly favored Cavill, ultimately, other producers selected Daniel Craig for the role.
Cavill later fulfilled his spy ambitions in the film Argylle, starring alongside a high-profile cast including Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, and Catherine O’Hara. Despite the impressive ensemble, the film received mixed reviews, scoring a mere 4/10 on IGN.
Cavill's career continues to flourish, with notable roles including Superman for DC, Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's The Witcher, and numerous other projects.
