More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
YOU KNOW HIS NAME - not only as the latest James Bond in CASINO ROYALE, but also as XXXX in LAYER CAKE, Ben Driscoll in THE INVASION and Lord Asriel in THE GOLDEN COMPASS. Yet Daniel Craig has long been recognised as one of the best British actors of his generation, a committed professional who is passionate about his work and has often shunned the lure of easy money in Hollywood blockbusters in favour of more challenging roles in low-budget European films.
DANIEL CRAIG - ULTIMATE PROFESSIONAL
takes an in-depth look at the career of the pub landlord's son who made his acting debut at the age of six and rose to prominence through roles such as the tormented Geordie Peacock in OUR FRIENDS IN THE NORTH, the schizophrenic Ray in SOME VOICES, the mercenary archeologist Alex West in LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER, the amorous carpenter Darren in THE MOTHER, and the murderous Perry Smith in INFAMOUS.
Fully illustrated throughout, DANIEL CRAIG - ULTIMATE PROFESSIONAL also includes 16 pages of colour photos of the actor who was voted the sexiest man in the world in a recent poll.

An Actors Life On The Surface,
By Michael C. Smith "MGMboy@aol.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Daniel Craig - Ultimate Professional (Paperback)
"Daniel Crag Ultimate Professional" by Daniel O'Brian is a dry and very spare telling of the life so far of the fine British actor Daniel Craig. If you are looking for an in-depth study of the man you will not find it here. What you will find is the bare bones of his life strung together between synopsis of his films, TV and stage work.
This is not to say that it is a disappointing read but rather a good place to begin. I came to the book interested in learning more about this fine actor who shot to international prominence with "Casino Royale". With this book I now have the cliff notes of his life. To be fair to Daniel O'Brian, Mr. Craig seems to be a very private, serious, and down to earth person who is living a very un-movie star lifestyle, so what we have here is not a sensational life played out before the cameras as you might find in a biography of a star such as Frank Sinatra or Elizabeth Taylor but the work-a-day life of an actor on the rise. The book is full of wonderful photographs in both black and white and color and there is a complete listing of his filmography at the end. Overall the book was light and informative on the surface. Perhaps what is missing are more in-depth interviews with colleagues in the film world who can shed more light on the personality and workings of this fascinating artist. Mr. Craig is in the middle of his career so we are likely to see in the future more interesting turns along the way both professionally and personally but we will have to wait for time to pass before we get the definitive biography on his life and work. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

Daniel Craig Biography,
By J. P. Benda "james bond lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Daniel Craig - Ultimate Professional (Paperback)
Daniel Craig is surprised people are writing biographies about him and wonders where they get their information. From the research I have done this book seems factualy true and does not read like the tabloids. His movies are discussed one by one and in a flattering light and that consumes most of the book. His private life and personal information is scarce since he won't talk about it. I enjoyed this book very much.
