Born in Chester and raised in Liverpool, England, Daniel Craig is regarded as one of Britain's finest actors who is now also one of Hollywood's most sought after leading men.

Daniel Craig's lengthy list of critically acclaimed performances in feature films, television and on stage led to his selection to play the iconic secret agent James Bond in the latest 007 film, Casino Royale, to be released in November 2006.

He will also star opposite Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman in The Visiting, the highly anticipated remake of the classic sci-fi thriller Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Craig was most recently seen in Steven Spielberg's Oscar nominated Munich and received rave reviews as the star of Matthew Vaughn's indie smash hit Layer Cake.

His other film credits also include the Hollywood blockbuster hit Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, starring opposite Angelina Jolie, and the Academy Award?-nominated drama Elizabeth. In 2002 he garnered critical acclaim co-starring with Tom Hanks in Road to Perdition, directed by Sam Mendes. The following year he starred opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in Sylvia, about the life and death of poet Sylvia Plath. Craig has also worked with director John Maybury in both The Jacket, with Adrien Brody and Keira Knightley, and Love is the Devil, opposite Derek Jacobi as the brilliant and tortured painter Francis Bacon.
