I really liked Daniel Craig in "Casino Royale". But, I haven't seen him in anything else so who knows.

I've read all the Bond books by Ian Fleming. Daniel Craig plays Bond MOST like the Bond character in the books IMHO. I really like him in the Bond role and I never thought I'd say that having loved Sean C since the early Bond roles.
DC plays a really nasty character in Road to Perdition - you'd hardly recognize him. He plays the protagonist in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - a good, if a bit difficult to watch sometimes (squirm factor) whodunit. YMMV

I always thought Sean Connery was by far the best Bond, until I saw Casino Royale! Daniel Craig blew him out of the water. Craig was just as I always imagined Bond would be (after reading all of the Bond books, like you), including that hard-as-steel inner core to Bond's personality.
I don't watch many movies but I should see DC in another movie some day.

Can't argue with Tom Hanks and Meryl, but I think Ed Norton could actually tie them for how well he's acted. Give him the same longevity in Hollywood and I wouldn't be surprised to see him demonstrate that he could even be better. Leonardo DiCaprio is underrepresented here imo, he's an amazing actor who has done a great job showing a wide range of acting abilities. I think some of the best actors out there end up not showing their full range due to getting into a single role for a long time. Emmy Rossum I think could be great, but her long-standing role keeps her from showing additional range I think.
