Just before Christmas, British actor Dominic West stirred James Bond fans by exclaiming that it was time for a transgender actor to be chosen to star as the next 007 and trans actors have grabbed onto this idea with gusto pushing hard for such an unlikely outcome.
West, who was once suggested as a possible Bond star himself, apparently has other actors in mind for the role:
“Maybe a transgender Bond would be cool,” West said. “There’s a very cool woman who’s the wife of an actor in [his latest film] Colette, who is a captain in the electrical engineers, the highest-ranking transgender soldier in the army.”
Whether the person West had in mind could be a candidate for the role or not, several other starry-eyed trans actors have glommed onto West’s idea with fervor.
Comedian Ian Harvie, for instance, thinks that a trans James Bond would mean that transgender men — people born as a female but transitioning to male — would be “seen as men, legitimate and worthy of casting in this role.”
Harvie, who was born female, says a trans Bond would be a “major triumph.”
