Yes - got given some poor films though

Craig has had the benefit of some very strong scripts.

I don't have an issue if anyone thinks James bond should be played by a white actor. I don't see that as necessarily racist. As Jim says, he's just said something trying too hard not to offend and its come across in the wrong way.
